Jane Dee Gross is a long-time historic preservationist and member of the Miami Beach Historic Preservation Board. Jane has always loved the Art Deco period and when she visited friends here in 1982 she fell in love with the Beach and stayed. She talks about the restoration excitement, the challenges, and about her close friendship with Leonard Horowitz, the artist/designer who created a color scheme that brought the old Deco buildings to life and drew artists, designers, preservationists, and entrepreneurs from all over the country to South Beach. This interview was recorded May 26, 2017, in the Gross Miami Beach home as part of the Miami Beach Visual Memoirs Project -- an oral history archive project funded by the Miami Beach Visitor and Convention Authority.
