History of Fienberg-Fisher

Fienberg-Fisher comes in two parts, the 1920 building (Leroy D. Fienberg Elementary School) facing Washington Avenue done by H. George Fink and the 1936 building (Ida M. Fisher Junior High School) at 1424 Drexel done by August Geiger. The 1936 building was developed by the Works Progress Administration during the New Deal. Leroy D. Fienberg was the principal of the elementary school from 1962-1967. Ida M. Fisher was Carl Fisher’s mother. Both buildings have extensive Mediterranean Revival details: arched breezeways, ironwork, red barre tiles. The 1920 building was originally known as the Miami Beach Public School. Now the school, made up of these historic buildings which sit in the center of the Art Deco Historic District, is named Miami Beach Fienberg Fisher K-8.
