About Bay Harbor Islands
Bay Harbor Islands is a town in Miami-Dade County, Florida, United States. It is separated from the mainland by Biscayne Bay, over which the land masses are connected via the Broad Causeway. BHI was founded by Shepard Broad on April 28, 1947. It consists of two islands: originally known as Broadview and Bay Harbor, now referred to as, respectively, the West and East Islands. The East Island of Bay Harbor features one of the largest concentrated collections of mid-century Miami Modern architecture of the 1940s and 1950s, including historic buildings designed by Morris Lapidus, Henry Hohauser, and Charles McKirahan.
