Description


El Centro Español de Tampa

El Centro Español de Tampa is a historic building in the Ybor City neighborhood of Tampa, in the U.S. state of Florida. Built as an ethnic and cultural clubhouse in 1912, the red brick structure situated at 1526–1536 East 7th Avenue is today part of a shopping and entertainment complex.[5] It remains one of the few surviving structures specific to Spanish immigration to the United States during the late 19th and early 20th centuries,[7] a legacy which garnered the Centro Español building recognition as a U.S. National Historic Landmark (NHL) on June 3, 1988.[5] El Centro Español de Tampa is one of two individual structures within Hillsborough County to be so designated.
