Talk:Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts

Name change

The name of this page needs to be changed from "Carnival Center for the Performing Arts" into "The Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts". The name of the center changed last week. Can somebody that knows how to do it, change it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.3.16.2 (talk) 05:14, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

Burdines?

The article says it was built on the grounds of a former Burdines. As far as I know, that was always a Sears going back to the 1920s until it closed around 1983. Was it ever a Burdines? EnriqueH (talk) 21:38, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

I see no support for idea this was ever a Burdines, and removed the assertion. The Art Deco predecessor building was a Sears, Roebuck building built in 1929, probably with no previous predecessor there. If it ever became a Burdines, later, that could be mentioned, if supported. --doncram (talk) 15:25, 15 August 2010 (UTC)

Only part of the Sears building was preceded by Burdines. This part did not include the tower. Look at the photo supplied in the reference: [1].

Thanks for pointing to the Lopez-Bernal reference. It is a columnist's column and is not clear on all matters we'd like, though. I guess it establishes well enough that there was a Burdines store before there was a Sears store, and the tower was not part of the Burdines. It is not clear on whether the Sears store was adjacent to the Burdines one and then Sears bought and closed the Burdines, or whether the Sears store included the Burdines building. It is not clear that the 1929-built National Register-listed building was the Burdines store. The National Register listing is under name Sears Roebuck and Company Department Store or something like that. The National Register nomination document, which should be available for free upon request to the National Register (see wp:NRHPhelp) would be very clear on this and would be a reliable source. The pic of the Burdines store does look like an Art Deco style building though. This is useful stuff for the article about the art deco building, Sears, Roebuck and Company Department Store (Miami, Florida). That should be linked from this article. I see my previous link didn't work properly, but i think it should be fixed not deleted. --doncram (talk) 17:28, 15 August 2010 (UTC)

It is confirmed that the Burdines building became part of the Sears building. This statement is on the Florida archives for this postcard File:Sears, Roebuck and Company Department Store.jpg: "The impressive department store of Sears, Roebuck & Co. in Miami as on the outstanding Sears stores in the country. The plant with parking areas covers parts of two blocks. The front N.E. 13th to 14th Streets on Biscayne Blvd. 92,000 sq. ft. of selling space carries all lines of merchandise." On the other matter, I agree that the link should be included. I was just partially reverting wholesale to get the information back on there.--Jorfer (talk) 19:57, 15 August 2010 (UTC)

merger/split

This article seems to me not to be an appropriate holder of NRHP listing information for the Sears, Roebuck building from 1929. See Sears, Roebuck and Company Department Store (Miami, Florida) and Downtown Miami Multiple Resource Area. What was NRHP-listed was NOT the modern Adrienne Arsht Center building complex; that contains just one vestige of the 1930 Art Deco masterpiece that was the subject of the NRHP nomination. I plan to remove the merger proposal tags on the two articles and remove the NRHP infobox from this article. --doncram (talk) 15:04, 15 August 2010 (UTC)

Add discussion about water damage

The faulty construction of the project came to light when water pipes broke during a live performance causing patrons to leave immediately. It seemed to take three months of continuous high power blowers to drive out water and odor left in the building. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.180.109.13 (talk) 01:56, 24 March 2013 (UTC)

Not one of the largest performance venues
