The Al Capone house was built in 1922 and has sat gracefully on the waterfront of Palm Island for nearly 100 years. But now, the home is at risk of demolition and replacement with a brand new McMansion. Developers and real estate investors Todd Glaser and Nelson Gonzalez are proposing a total demolition of the historical property for the purpose of redevelopment and resale. This property recently had a multi-million dollar renovation as is in pristine condition according to the property marketing. Miami Beach risks losing an important part of not just our local history, but of US history if this demolition is allowed to proceed. The loss of this landmark structure and its replacement with a new oversized home will have a long-term negative impact on the community. The City of Miami Beach, Historic Preservation Board, Design Review Board, and the current owners should do EVERYTHING in its power to stop the demolition of this structure and designate this home as historic in order to save it for future generations.
