AmerTec Building

If you have ever ridden the Miami Metrorail, you may have noticed something odd outside of the window approaching or leaving the Okeechobee Station. If you’re familiar with Hialeah, you may have passed it on your commute. You can’t miss it. It stands-​out amongst everything else in the area. There is nothing else like it.
That odd building that resembles an underwater structure that can only be found within an undiscovered nautilus species from 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea is the AmerTec Building. Designed in 1967 by Architect Chayo Frank for his father’s woodworking business. He had just graduated college and Hippies were everywhere so, this unique trippy design was an obvious choice.
In its short lifespan, this building has changed colors and has even laid abandoned for many years. Literally abandoned. Why abandoned? I have no idea how anything as unique as this can be forgotten about. The last time it received any recognition was in 2012 when a local reporter «discovered» it and broke-​in inside. The inside is even «trippier.»
So, here in Hialeah lies an unique structure that gets threatened to be leveled to the ground with every passing year. It ‘s almost as if nobody cares. So, I decided to add it on Unilocal.I see this building being talked about on Facebook all the time. Well, now you can review it.
Things to note and blah, blah, blahs:
* Parking in case you want to see it — Parking for this structure is closed-​off. You would have to park on one of the nearby inner streets and walk here.
* The best pictures are taken directly in front of it on the grassy area under the Metrorail overpass.
* Rumor around town is that the building is currently being used for storage by the business next door.
* At least, it has remained painted and looking nice on the exterior.
