About Curtiss Mansion

The Curtiss Mansion is the 1925 home of aviation pioneer Glenn Hammond Curtiss, set on the grounds of Miami Springs next to the country club golf course. Designed by architect Martin Hampton in a Pueblo Revival style more often associated with Santa Fe, the V-shaped house has a rough stucco exterior, a recessed T-shaped entrance and a flat roof with irregular parapet walls.

It sits on the National Register of Historic Places and is run by Curtiss Mansion Inc., a nonprofit founded in 1998 to preserve Curtiss's legacy.

Visitors can book a guided historical tour of the house and gardens, and the grounds include a small lake with a coral rock barbecue. The mansion also hosts weddings, quinceaneras, film shoots, family movie nights and festivals, with separate rooms and courtyards for ceremonies, dinner and dancing.

It is a short drive from Miami International Airport. Tours and events run on set dates, so booking ahead is recommended.
