b. This ornate commercial building was constructed at the beginning of the Florida Land Boom era. The architects' extensive use of Neo-Classical ornamentation attempted to distinguish the building from other properties in downtown Miami. Pfeiffer and O'Reilly's most distinctive flourishes are on the second floor, where cartouches, stylized acanthus leaves, rusticated masonry, and a pierced balustrade accentuate the building's corner location. The Hahn Building was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.
