Also here over past centuries were a Tequesta burial mound, early Spanish forts, the 19th century Fort Dallas and the Royal Palm Hotel.

Ahhh, yes. The Royal Palm Hotel of the early-20th century era.

LOL!! Your comment brings to mind an Eddie Izzard bit:

"Yes, and, um, I grew up in Europe, where the history comes from. ... You tell your history, “Damn, man! 30 years old, let’s smash her to the floor and put a car park here!” I have seen it in stories. I saw, you know, something in…a program on something in Miami. And they were saying, “We’ve redecorated this building to how it looked over fifty years ago!” And people were going, “No, surely not, no. No one was alive then.”
