Producer and Miami Herald multimedia journalist Michael Alen has always loved a strange building in the middle of Hialeah called the AmerTec building in Hialeah. He tracked down the building’s architect, Chayo Frank. Alen recently produced a story about being reunited with this beloved piece of architecture from his childhood. You can listen to it here. Also, take a look at the corresponding post.
Take a pictorial tour of the AmerTec through the images below, courtesy of photographer and urban explorer Tanya Diaz.
