Glenn Hammond Curtiss was the most famous American aviator of the early 20th century before the Wright Brothers' names became the ones history remembered most. He built the first practical seaplane. He flew the first long-distance airplane flight in America — a 150-mile journey from Albany to New York City in 1910 that won the New York World prize and made him a national sensation. He beat the Wright Brothers in an air race. His motorcycles set world speed records. And then, in the early 1920s, having made his fortune and looking for his next act, Glenn Curtiss went to South Florida and decided to build cities. He built three. With business partner James Bright, he created Hialeah — themed around Spanish Colonial architecture — and Country Club Estates, which became Miami Springs, themed after American pueblo architecture. And then, on 1,000 acres of former Seminole hunting ground in northwestern Miami-Dade County that the Seminole people had called "Opa-tisha-wocka-locka" — meaning "a big island covered with many trees and swamps" — Curtiss decided to do something unprecedented in the history of American urban planning. He hired Bernhardt Emil Muller, a graduate of the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris, and told him to design an entire city in the Moorish Revival style — domes, minarets, horseshoe arches, arabesque tile work, and every architectural element drawn from North African, Spanish Islamic, and Persian sources. Muller had never seen Moorish architecture in person. He worked entirely from books, photographs, and the 1924 film The Thief of Baghdad, which Curtiss screened repeatedly as a design reference. Over 80 buildings were designed. The streets were named Ali Baba Avenue, Sharazad Street, Aladdin Street, Sinbad Avenue, and Caliph Street. On January 8, 1927, the Arabian Nights Fantasy Festival celebrated the new city's existence: a Pullman railcar arrived at the brand-new station as men in Arab costumes on white horses charged the train in a theatrical welcome, only to fall back and invite the arriving dignitaries — including Florida Governor John Martin — to witness what Glenn Curtiss had built. The 1926 hurricane struck before the Arabian Nights Fantasy Festival even happened. The 1929 stock market crash followed. Curtiss died in 1930. The dream of a complete Moorish city in Florida died with the land boom. Of the 80+ buildings designed, 20 survive. They are listed on the National Register of Historic Places as the Opa-locka Thematic Resource Area — the largest concentration of Moorish Revival architecture anywhere in the United States. The Opa-locka Company Administration Building, now City Hall, stands on the curved boulevard named Sharazad, its minarets and horseshoe arches intact after nearly 100 years. As of 2025, the City Commission has unanimously approved its complete restoration ahead of Opa-locka's centennial in 2026. Today Opa-locka has approximately 16,100 residents across 4.2 square miles in northwestern Miami-Dade County, adjacent to Hialeah, Miami Gardens, and North Miami. The demographic character is 51.7% Hispanic or Latino and 43.1% Black or African American — a genuinely multicultural community where Spanish and Haitian Creole are the languages of daily life alongside English. The city has faced significant challenges over the decades — economic hardship, infrastructure gaps, and the consequences of being the most architecturally extraordinary small city in Florida that most people have never heard of. The centennial restoration campaign and the heritage trail project are writing a new chapter. TV Mount Hero will be there for every installation call as the city approaches its 100th year. --- **📍 Opa-locka by Zone — Historic Moorish Core and CBS Block Residential** **The Moorish Revival historic district.** The concentrated historic core around Ali Baba Avenue, Sharazad Boulevard, Perviz Avenue, and the surrounding streets contains the 20 surviving Moorish Revival buildings and the residential blocks that grew up around them. Historic City Hall on Sharazad — with its multiple domes, elaborate Moorish tilework, and minarets visible from the surrounding streets — is the most important surviving example. The Opa-locka railroad station, the Harry Hurt Building, and the other surviving 1920s structures share the construction techniques of their era: hollow clay tile, early poured concrete, and the hand-applied stucco finishes that Muller's designs required. For TV mounting in the historic district's residential buildings — the CBS block and concrete construction that grew up around the Moorish landmarks from the 1940s through the 1970s — we assess every wall individually. The proximity of historic buildings and the active restoration effort means that precision work and clean installations are especially important in this zone. **The CBS block residential grid.** The majority of Opa-locka's 4.2 square miles is occupied by CBS block single-family homes and low-rise apartment buildings from the postwar era through the 1970s. These homes reflect the city's growth wave after World War II, when the aviation and industrial activity of the adjacent Opa-locka Executive Airport drove residential development throughout the city's western and southern zones. CBS block construction throughout the single-family stock — solid concrete block exterior walls requiring masonry hardware, drywall interior partitions in renovated spaces. The same technical requirements as every other Miami-Dade CBS block neighborhood, applied to a city whose backstory is unlike any other in Florida. **The Opa-locka Executive Airport corridor.** Opa-locka Executive Airport — one of Miami-Dade County's general aviation airports — borders the city to the north and west, creating the employment and economic activity corridor that has shaped the city's character since the 1940s. The residential neighborhoods adjacent to the airport have the practical, working-community character of an aviation-adjacent city. CBS block construction, standard masonry hardware requirements. --- **🕌 The Largest Moorish Revival Concentration in America — One Hundred Years** Opa-locka's centennial arrives in 2026. The city that Glenn Curtiss dreamed into existence from a Florida swamp, a Paris-trained architect who had never seen Moorish architecture in person, and a 1924 Hollywood film about The Thief of Baghdad is approaching its 100th year with the same 20 surviving buildings that outlasted the hurricane, the stock market crash, the land boom collapse, and every subsequent decade of difficulty. The centennial restoration of City Hall — the Opa-locka Company Administration Building that architect Muller described as "the most elaborate" of his designs for Curtiss — will return one of the most architecturally significant buildings in South Florida to its original intended condition. The heritage trail project, the two-time Emmy-winning journalist who mapped the city's architectural story, the historian from HistoryMiami Museum who calls Opa-locka "unique in its Arabian Nights theme" among the Florida land boom cities — all are contributing to a centennial narrative that frames Opa-locka not as a failed dream but as the most extraordinary surviving example of themed urban planning in American history. TV Mount Hero serves Opa-locka in 2025 and will be here in 2026 — the centennial year. Every installation we do in this city is in a community that has earned the right to be served with the same professionalism we bring to Coral Gables, Key Biscayne, and every other Miami-Dade community we serve. --- **🌍 Opa-locka's Community — Spanish, Haitian Creole, and Full-Service** With 51.7% Hispanic or Latino residents and 43.1% Black or African American residents — including a significant Haitian community — Opa-locka is a genuinely multilingual city where the language of the service provider matters enormously. **Nou pale Kreyòl ayisyen** — sèvis montaj televizyon disponib an Kreyòl pou tout rezidan ayisyen yo nan Opa-locka.

Postwar CBS block construction throughout the city stops standard anchors.** Opa-locka's residential housing stock is CBS block from the 1940s through the 1970s — solid concrete exterior walls where standard drywall anchors fail immediately under the weight of any television. **2. Historic district hollow clay tile construction requires specialized hardware.** The oldest surviving buildings in Opa-locka's historic core used hollow clay tile — a pre-CBS block masonry material from the 1920s. Standard CBS block anchors are inappropriate for hollow tile; the collapse of the tile cell produces immediate anchor failure. Historic district work requires individual substrate assessment. **3. Language barriers produce installations at the wrong height.** When a technician and homeowner cannot communicate clearly in a shared language, the TV goes at the wrong height on the wrong wall. Our complete Spanish and Haitian Creole service eliminates this entirely in Opa-locka's multilingual households. **4. Decades of renovation create unpredictable wall substrates.** Opa-locka's CBS block homes have been renovated through multiple ownership generations. Drywall applied over CBS block, renovation-era additions in different materials, and the full range of informal construction modifications mean that no assumption about wall type is safe without probing first. **5. Compact residential layouts require precise TV height calculation.** The CBS block homes of Opa-locka's postwar residential grid have compact living rooms where the sofa-to-wall distance is frequently 8 to 10 feet — close enough that standard "48 inches to center" mounting height is too high for comfortable viewing. We calculate the correct height from actual room geometry on every installation. --- **❓ Frequently Asked Questions — TV Mounting in Opa-locka, FL** **How quickly can you arrive in Opa-locka?** Same-day appointments available throughout Opa-locka seven days a week.
