A postcard depicting palm trees along Biscayne Boulevard in Downtown Miami, Florida. The most prominent building in this postcard is one of Miami's first skyscrapers, McAllister Hotel, located at 10 Biscayne Boulevard. Designed by Walter De Garmo (1876-1951), the hotel opened in 1917 and was considered the tallest building Miami until 1925. Next to the McAllister Hotel is the Columbus Hotel, which opened in 1926. Both hotels were demolished in 1989 and replaced with the Columbus Bazaar shopping arcade. 50 Biscayne later replaced the bazaar in 2007.
