About this property

The Naval Air Station Richmond Headquarters Building is a National Register of Historic Places-listed building in Miami, Florida. Built in 1942 as part of a blimp facility used in naval defense, the base was closed in 1961 and used for intelligence operations and military reserve activities until the base was significantly damaged by Hurricane Andrew in 1992. Following the hurricane, all base buildings were demolished except for the headquarters building, which in 2010 was relocated within the base and in 2018 was reopened as the Miami-Dade Military Museum.
