Congress Building

The Congress Building is a historic skyscraper in downtown Miami, Florida, located at 111 Northeast 2nd Avenue. Originally designed as an office building, it was restored in 1999 and converted into residential apartments. The building's architecture is remarkable: it initially had only five stories, and sixteen more floors were added later. Today, the ground floor houses a variety of retail shops and services, including a financial institution, a beauty salon, and a café. An important piece of cultural heritage, the building has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1985 and is recognized locally as a historic site within the urban development of downtown Miami.
