The Admiral Vee Motel
Maurice Weintraub designed the Admiral Vee Motel in 1957, and it sits at 8000 Biscayne, Boulevard, Miami. It ceased operating as a motel in 1967 when movie star Paul Lynde acquired it. He reopened it and named it the “Millionaires Club,” where stars like Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Amstrong have come to perform live.
Over the years, the “club” changed to a photography studio and then a medical clinic, but the structure was damaged after Hurricane Irma hit the building in 2017. The damage resulted in several broken windows and the “death” of the establishment as it has since been abandoned. Hopefully, this changes at some point in the future.
