In 1979, the Art Deco Historic District of Miami Beach was added to the National Register of Historic Places. It is the largest collection of Art Deco architecture in the world, including hundreds of hotels, apartments, and other buildings built between 1923 and 1943. The district features Mediterranean Revival architecture, Streamline Moderne architecture, and Art Deco architecture. The boundaries of the district are the Atlantic Ocean to the east, Lenox Court to the west, 6th Street to the south, and Dade Boulevard along the Collins Canal to the north. The leader of this movement was the former interior designer Barbara Capitman, who has a street named after her in the historic district.
