Constructed in 1997, this handsome building has only 17 floors, and yet is the height of a 35-story building. That is because each courtroom is 16 feet in height. It was designed by the architectural firm Hellmuth, Obata & Kassabaum. One of the best times to view it or photograph it is in the evening, as it looks quite dramatic as the sun sets, and the light changes.
This lovely edifice is the home of the congregation of St. Paul African Methodist Episcopal Church. The congregation was founded in 1870, and this building was consturcted in 1915. It was completey restored some years ago. for the newspaper article about this building back in 1915, go to :

Built as the Tampa Bay Hotel by the famous railroad magnate Henry B. Plant in 1891, this fascinating structure now houses the University of Tampa, and the Henry B. Plant Museum. All of the domes are floodlit at night, and can be seen to good advantage across the Hillsborough River in the park next to the Tampa Museum of Art.
