| Description |
From the City of Miami Designation Report The D. A. Dorsey House is significant for its association with Miami’s first black millionaire. Dana A. Dorsey, a pioneer citizen and developer of early “Colored Town,” is generally recognized as Miami’s most famous black resident. Dorsey came to Miami in 1897 and soon began to purchase lots in Colored Town. The value of these $25 lots quickly skyrocketed as Miami expanded to the north, and Dorsey’s fortune grew. Dorsey eventually amassed the largest real estate empire ever owned by a black man in the history of Dade County. Dorsey suggested and helped organize South Florida’s first black bank, The Mutual Industrial Benefit and Saving Association. He also served as chairman of the Colored Advisory Committee to the Dade County School Board and as registrar for black men in Dade County during World War I. In addition, Dorsey was a noted philanthropist and was well-respected as a civic leader in Colored Town. |
