'''[[Curtiss Mansion]]''' is a [[Pueblo Revival Style architecture|Pueblo style]] home that belonged to city founder Glenn Curtiss. Beginning in the late 1970s, the house was subject to [[vandalism]] and a number of fires. 

'''Fair Haven Nursing Home''' is one of the oldest buildings in Miami Springs and is built in the pueblo style favored during the initial development. The building was designed by architect [[Bernard E. Muller]]. It was designated a Miami Springs Historic Site  in 1984.

Back in 1927, Fair Havens Retirement Center was Miami Springs founder Glenn Curtiss’ masterpiece. But it was never added to the National Registry of Historic Places, according to documents obtained from the U.S. Department of Interior’s National Park Service by Miami Herald reporter Theo Karantsalis.

Before becoming a nursing home, the building served as the Hotel Country Club. The hotel was built by [[Glenn Curtiss]] and partners, and was intended to promote the development of the then-new Country Club Estates. It was furnished in a Southwestern style, with [[Navajo]] rugs on the floor and handcrafted solid mahogany furniture. In 1929, after the crash, Curtiss sold the hotel to his friend [[John Harvey Kellogg]], who renamed it the "Miami Battle Creek Sanitarium" and operated for many years. During World War II, it served the [[Air Transport Command]] as a hospital for recuperating military personnel. Later it became a home for the elderly, which it still is today.<ref>[http://www.miamisprings-fl.gov/community/hotel-country-club-fairhavens Hotel Country Club (Fairhavens)], history</ref>
