Buildings were built by Henry B. Plant (a pioneer of Florida) in 1891. It was originally the Tampa Hotel, renting for much higher than averages prices ($5-15/night as opposed to $2/night). It closed during the depression. The design is known as Moorish Revival. I understand that Henry Plant had recently visited Russia and loved the design. Do you see the crescent moon I captured?
@skipt07 No...still sitting on the camera fence. This Sony belongs to my husband. I alternate between that and the Nikon, depending on what lens I need. I haven't checked into repairing the old one since it is pretty old (2009, I think).
