Restorations at El Centro Espanol de Tampa

Florida Business Interiors call the 2^nd floor home. Here is their Facebook post and some photos too.

Our team is very proud of working in the beautiful El Centro Espanol de Tampa, a National Historic Landmark building.Since the building is over 100 years old and protected by the state of Florida with its significant historic value in our Tampa community, a renovation and refresh were needed to keep it intact and beautiful for generations to come.All the windows – which are doors that lead to balconies – are being replaced with new frames and hardware to make them fully functional again. In addition, the exterior limestone is being repaired and refinished to brighten up the façade, as well as, all the balconies will get a fresh coat of paint.We are looking forward to cooler weather (our version of Florida fall), so that we can continue to enjoy our great location along Seventh Avenue and sit outside taking in the views from our balconies!
