Before the Alfred I Dupont building on Flagler Street, there was the Halcyon Hall Hotel and arcade. It was constructed by Salem & Emily Graham and it opened on January 20, 1906.
First I must say, I LOVE all of your fabulous articles Casey. I really, really enjoy learning more about Miami. Miami history is so deep and endless! I have to THANK YOU Casey! You and this article just solved a very long mystery for me. For many moons, I tried to figure out where "Frank's Magic Shop" was located. I found a 106 year old Ouija Board that had a "Frank's Magic Shop at ***Halcyon Arcade Miami FL stamped on it and could never find any info on it. I am so tickled to learn that my antique board game may of come from this very special hotel and arcade. Soooo cool! Thank you! - Christina V.- A Miami History enthusiast!
