Artist's Description
This is Tampa's first public library. It was built in 1917 thanks, in part, to a $50,000 grant from Andrew Carnegie.
IIt served as Tampa's main library for almost fifty years. The city’s growth led to the need for more and larger libraries.
At the time of its construction it was capable of serving 50,000 patrons, but by the 1960's Tampa had grown to well over 200,000 residents. Longer hours were not the answer and in 1968 the library closed as a new main library was built.
Today the county uses the building for administrative offices.
The library was put on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places in 1991.
The building is located in Tampa Heights, just a short walk from the end of Tampa's Riverwalk.
About Robert Wilder Jr
My true passion is photography. Since I am not good at drawing or painting photography really lets my creative side loose. Originally from Rochester, New York, I've called Florida home for almost 40 years. Other interests include hiking, traveling and especially cruising. These activities are always finding me new things to photograph. My photographic philosophy is to show people things they pass everyday but never notice. I look forward to your feedback as I am still growing as a photographer and will never be done learning.
