The progression from south to north along Miami Beach is a progression through recent American architectural history from the 1930s . . . through the '40s . . . into the famous hotels of the '50s and '60s. We feel that this progression is an important part of the architectural and cultural heritage of this country and should be seen as such by those who control its survival.
