The Myles Building is a historic U.S. building located at 911-919 East New Haven Avenue, Melbourne, Florida. This two story building was constructed in 1913 and included a restaurant and billiard parlor on the first floor and the Midway Hotel on the second.[1] Soon after completion, the Melbourne Times newspaper relocated to the Myles Building.[1] Part of the building was also used as a temporary classroom when the local schools ran out of space.[1] After prohibition ended, Shorty's Bar opened at the billiard parlor and according to legend, gangster Al Capone played pool there.[1]
