 Hazards
  • The floor from the 2nd level is very collapsed, likely wouldn't hold any weight if you tried it.
  •  Interesting Features
    The huge hole created from the 2nd floor collapse makes for an interesting view of the rooms/color schemes/decay upstairs.

    Was the "apartment" of the Punisher in the 2004 movie.

    On May 23, 2010, the building was demolished due to collapse of it roof. The building was initially put on the National Register of Historic Places hoping that the historic status and tax incentives would help towards restoration.

     History
    Periods of significance (per the National Register): 1900-1924, 1925-1949, 1950-1974.

    Masonry Vernacular. Two stories. The building is six-sided, a ground plan that conforms to the irregularly shaped lots on which it was constructed. The hotel was constructed to serve as a satellite lodging and commercial venue for the nearby Union Station, which was erected to facilitate Tampa’s increasing rail traffic during the early twentieth century. The hotel building is all that remains of a continuous series of twelve two-story brick storefronts that were constructed. (http://www.flherit...ounty=Hillsborough)
