Description
The Tampa Hotel opened in 1891 by Henry B Plant. The 500 room hotel closed in 1930 as the Great Depression curtailed tourism in the area. The building was empty for a few years before the Tampa Junior College moved in. later the college was expanded and in 1941 became the University of Tampa. Part of the building remains the Henry B Plant Museum and is well worth a visit by anyone interested in the history of the area. This shot was taken from Curtis Hixon Park, across the Hillsborough River. The city's River Walk opened recently and is a great way to get a view of the river and the city.
