This house made headlines as one of the best representatives of Florida Mediterranean Revival when Dr. Troy Halls finished its renovation in 1926.

Handcrafted wrought iron, imported Italian fountains and Spanish tile were romantic additions to the otherwise masculine exterior.
It was Miami in the roaring '20s, real estate was booming and for Miami's newest residents, the architectural style of choice was the romantic Mediterranean Revival. Built by Dr. Hall as a gift for his pregnant wife, this home features wrought iron work, 18-foot hand-painted ceilings, a Persian veranda, arched loggias, a red-tiled roof and Spanish tiled fountains.

The Hall's Mediterranean Revival expresses the romance and elegance of 1920s Miami, in a home that has become more than a style of architecture in Miami, but a tradition.

Dinner guests of the Halls dined in a stately and intimate dining room that was heavily used by the family.
