1. Title: A Blast from the Past: Carl Fisher's Dutch-Style Windmill Casino in Miami Beach, Florida, Circa 1920 2.. Step back in time with this aerial view of Carl Fisher's iconic Dutch-style windmill casino in Miami Beach, Florida, USA. Located between 22nd and 23rd Streets on Collins Avenue, this historic landmark once operated as a water pump, supplying fresh water to the growing community. Carl Fisher (1874-1939) was an American entrepreneur and the founder of Miami Beach. This image, taken circa 1920, showcases the casino's unique charm and allure, drawing visitors from near and far. The windmill's Dutch-style design, with its distinctive curved roof and tall, slender sails, stands out against the blue backdrop of the Atlantic Ocean. The casino was more than just a gaming establishment; it was a hub of sport, leisure, and social activity. The image reveals a swimming pool and sunbathers lounging under parasols, enjoying the sun and sea. The coastline road, now known as Collins Avenue, is lined with parked cars, indicating the popularity of the area as a holiday destination. The windmill's practical function as a water pump is evident in the image, with water cascading from the top of the windmill and flowing into a canal. The windmill's historical significance is further emphasized by its location on the coast, where it has stood as a testament to Miami Beach's rich history for nearly a century. This photograph captures the essence of a bygone era, offering a glimpse into the past and reminding us of the enduring allure of the sun, sea, and sand of Miami Beach.
