Spring Garden was advertised as "the most exclusive subdivision in Miami" when the first lots were offered for sale in 1919. Property along the Seybold Canal and the Miami River provided deepwater access, but the subdivision's prime location near downtown Miami and the Royal Palm Golf Course was its biggest selling point. Deed restrictions attached to the sale of each lot have helped preserve the character of the neighborhood, which includes Frame and Masonry Vernacular houses along with examples of Craftsman, Mission, and Streamline Moderne style homes built from the 1920s to the 1940s. One of the signature Homes of Spring Gardens is The Hindu Temple, a restored home on the National Register of Historic Places, is often used today as a backdrop for photo shoots, movies and TV commercials. Spring Gardens was also the site of one of Miami's first tourist attractions - Alligator Joe's, run by Warren Frazee, a giant of a man who until 1910 made his living wrestling alligators on the point of land where the Seybold Canal meets the river. Spring Gardens Generally between NW 11th Street and the Miami River from the Seybold Canal to NW 12th Avenue Years Built: 1920-present Architect/Builder: Various Date Historically Designated: 1997
