Discover the work and legacy of Dorothy Thomson, a City of Coral Gables City Commissioner and Mayor who spearheaded the preservation and restoration of the Biltmore Hotel with the guidance of Arva Moore Parks, at Coral Gables Museum's current exhibit, The Vote That Saved the Biltmore. On display through August 13, the exhibit features personal objects, photographs, memorabilia, and other printed materials related to Thomson's transition from the privacy of a tranquil household to the dynamic public arena as a city commissioner and first female mayor. Other projects supported by Thomson, such as the redevelopment of Miracle Mile and the passing of a city ordinance for the protection and promotion of Mediterranean-style architectural structures, are also featured in the exhibit.
