If you have a Saturday morning with free time and you like architecture and history about aviation, come here! Buzz and George lead the tour through the Curtiss Mansion. They are knowledgeable about Mr. Curtiss ( a major pioneer in aviation), his home and the area around Miami which Mr. Curtiss greatly influenced. I very much enjoyed our tour.

This home located on the edge of the beautiful Miami Springs Country Club golf course was the one time home of aviator Glenn Hammond Curtiss. Never heard of him? Well "google" his name and you'll be surprised at how instrumental this man was to modern day aviation. Not only was he an aviation pioneer and inventor but also the developer who was responsible for the Greater Miami communities of Miami Springs, Hialeah and Opa-Locka.
The home which has been beautifully restored to its' original 1920s glory can be best described as being built in the Pueblo/Mission Revival style of architecture reminiscent of the American Southwest. This style was a favorite of Mr.Curtiss and can be seen in a few other homes and buildings in the Miami Springs area. Tours of the home are currently conducted on Saturday mornings at 10am for a fee. My recent experience while touring the mansion was quite interesting and made all the more enjoyable by tour guides Buzz Fleischman and Cathy Doyle. Their enthusiasm and dedication in explaining the home's history and Mr. Curtiss's life and times was quite infectious and kept us entertained during the approximately 1 hour tour.
I would definitely recommend attending one of their Saturday tours for anyone interested not only in local Miami history and beautiful architecture but also interested Glenn Curtiss's incalculable contribution to aviation.

Well worth the trip to see and hear about the Curtiss Mansion. The docent who spoke to us about the facility was excellent. For the most part except for an upstairs office there was no furniture.

They do not explain anything and charge you even to go to toilet. I can not even waste my time to describe how horrible was the visit and the guests I invited was terribly desappointed.

The Mansion is a gem located in the city of Miami Springs.
Restored to its original state by a historical preservation architect.
The history of Glenn Curtiss and the beautiful grounds are worth seeing.
Glenn Curtiss held hundreds of patents and is featured at the Smithsonian in Washington DC.
