Petit Douy

Petit Douy, or Château Petit Douy, is a City of Miami historic property located at 1500 Brickell Avenue in the Brickell neighborhood of Miami, Florida, USA.

The two-story[1] Period Revival French Château was built in 1931, designed by architect Martin L. Hampton. The then-residential house was nominated for historic designation in 1983 by the City of Miami.[2] The design and name of the house was inspired by a château in Douy, France, after its original owners, local attorneys John Murrell and Ethel Murrell, visited that country.[3]

Located in an expensive and highly redeveloped luxury market, the zoning was changed to restrict uses such as condominiums to prevent demolition; however, the new zoning allowed commercial use of the property such as a storefront, office or restaurant.[4] The property was sold to the owner of a pharmaceutical company in 2006.[5] In 2015, the building began renovation to be turned into a restaurant or a club.[5]
