Fascinating! I have to wonder how they ever dug these out given the limestone "Miami Oolite"

nature of our native city! Maybe existing caves.

Hi, Edward. I have seen photos of some of the warehouses near the city docks during this time. It appears they were built above the ground, likely to allow trucks to back into the warehouse docks, which means that tunnels were probably at ground level but underneath the elevated warehouse structure.
