Crystal Parrot Players has moved the Mariah Brown House Restoration Project one step closer to becoming an interactive Museum. With a matching grant from The Grovenor Foundation, Crystal Parrot Players now holds over $6,600 in bank certificates for this important project. It is with this spirit of community that our organization has become a part of the Historical and Community Assets Oversight Committee to frame a vision and provide a direction for the completion and stewardship of this project which was begun by the Coconut Grove Cemetery Association. The combined support of the Coconut Grove Collaborative, Village West Homeowners & Tenants Assoc, University of Miami School of Architecture, Land Trust, Ecumenical Network, Villagers, and other organizations have advanced the ongoing preservation efforts of Charles Avenue and the Island District that grew from the seeds planted by Mariah Brown. Once completed, the Mariah Brown House Museum will be an educational resource for Miami-Dade County Schools and a tourist attraction for visitors. Small museums like this one (and the Bethel House in Perrine) remind residents of their heritage and cultural roots. They are wonderful teaching tools for our children and community visitors. This important project has the support of Miami-Dade County Commissioner Carlos A. Gimenez and City of Miami Commissioner Mark Sarnoff. Read more |
