Lua Curtiss House #1
Visitor Information & Local Services
Nicknamed “The Alamo”, the Lua Curtiss House #1 is a Y-shaped, two-story Pueblo Revival home that Glenn Curtiss had built for his mother. Because his mother loved to paint, the house was designed with large windows facing north, allowing for more natural light. The curved facade allows for air to flow through the house. Featuring Cuban terracotta tile, a vaulted ceiling and exposed beams, this home was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1985 and it was designated a Miami Springs Historic Site in 2003.
