Government Center (Miami)

Directly south of this is the main branch of the Miami-Dade Public Library System, as well as the HistoryMiami museum.

Henry Flagler's Florida East Coast Railroad owns roughly nine acres in the middle of Government Center, the site of its former Miami station, which spans several blocks.

While the station was destroyed in 1963[2] and the site had been used as surface parking lots in the decades following, the railroad never gave up ownership of the property.

In mid 2014, the lots were closed down for construction of the MiamiCentral intercity rail station, as part of the Brightline system.

The New World School of the Arts is located on the east side of Government Center, adjacent to Miami-Dade College's Wolfson Campus.
