"Tampa, Florida's fascinating architecture" Tampa by larigot

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.
