Famous Structure: Versace Mansion. The Versace Mansion is in the heart of Miami Beach. It is an infamous residence because the owner, Gianni Versace, was shot on the steps of the mansion by serial killer Andrew Cunanan. When Gianni saw the home for first time, he fell in love with it. The Versace Mansion was built in 1930 and modeled after the “Alcazar de Colon” in Santo Domingo, a residence built in 1510 by the son of Christopher Columbus. The architect who designed The Versace Mansion was Alden Freeman. At that time, it had a Barroco style. But in 1992, Gianni Versace, remodeled his house and, until now, it has an Italian style. It is a luxurious house which have gigantic gardens and bronce scupltures. This mansion is the most photographed building in Florida. Right now, the house has a garden, a spa, a pool and a dining room and it is also available for private events. I think that this Mansion is a mixture of cultures and I really like it, not only because Gianni Versace lived there, but also because the colors, the materials and the green areas of the Mansion are amazing.
