If you have lived in Miami most of your life, you have probably heard Curtiss Mansion or Glenn Curtiss mentioned once or twice. As a child, I remember passing by the grounds of the Mansion while walking around the Miami Springs Golfcourse and wondering what this house looked like inside. As a Teenager, I may be guilty of sneaking into the property a few times and wandering around taking pictures of what was left of this once beautiful home. With that said Curtiss Mansion has been around for years & in 1987 it was locally designated a Historical Site & in 2001 it was placed on the National Register of Historic Sites as an individual structure and as part of a thematic group.
If you have never heard of Curtiss Mansion, it is a two-story deltoid-shaped and multi-massed example of Pueblo-Mission Revival architecture. It was Built in 1925 by Glenn Curtiss (an American aviation pioneer and a founder of the U.S. aircraft industry) as his private residence, the Mansion was originally called “Dar-en-aha,” meaning The House of Contentment.
The 14,733sqft property is located on triangular a shaped lot which is 3 ½ acres. A long winding driveway lined with tall stately royal palms leads from the gatehouses past the one-acre free form pond to the Mansion's main entrance.
The Historic Glenn Curtiss Mansion is being re-stored after being victim of three separate arson fires & years of vandalism & deterioration. It’s restoration to the original 1925 condition is made possible in part by comprehensive documentation and photographs.
