The G. Carl Adams House is a prominent Pueblo Revival residence in Miami Springs, Florida, built in 1924–1925 and designed by architect Martin L. Hampton. Originally sited in the "Hunting Lodge Park" section of Country Club Estates, the two-story home was among the largest residences in the area and featured prominently in the development's sales materials. Arranged in a modified U-shape around a brick-paved central courtyard with a breezeway of graceful arched openings, the structure exemplifies Pueblo Revival aesthetics through its hand-sculpted stucco walls, buttresses, water spouts, irregular parapets, and deeply recessed windows set into thick, roughly textured walls. The property is enclosed by a four-foot stucco wall. Originally occupied by George Carl Adams—half-brother of aviation pioneer Glenn Curtiss—and his wife Dorothy, the house remains a distinguished example of the regional style. Added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1985, it retains its architectural character despite the addition of a modern pool.
