The Centro Asturiano is a historic site in Ybor City, Tampa, Florida. It is located at 1913 Nebraska Avenue. On July 24, 1974, it was added to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places. It was designed by Tampa architect M. Leo Elliott.History and CultureThe Centro Asturiano de Tampa is a social club for immigrants and the descendants of immigrants from Asturias, Spain. Historically, a hospital, cemetery and health insurance all came with membership, and the purpose of the club was to take care of members from before birth until after they died. Membership declined following the close of the hospital in 1990. The hospital was renovated in 2005 to provide affordable housing for seniors. All that remains of the old Centro is the social aspect and the cemetery.The Centro is one of many Centros Asturianos that span Spain, the US, and the world.In the late 1880s most of the traffic from Spain to the Americas consisted of bachelors going to Havana, Cuba looking for work. Those men who were married often immigrated alone, only to send for their families once well established in their new homeland. In Havana, there were many organizations, representing various regions of Spain, whose sole mission was to provide health assistance and “a little taste of home” for their members. The Centro Asturiano de La Habana was founded on May 2, 1886 to provide medical assistance, social activities, education, and recreational opportunities.

Leo Elliott. It is located at Palm Avenue and 14th Street. On November 15, 1972, it was added to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places. On April 18, 2012, the AIA's Florida Chapter placed the building on its list of Florida Architecture: 100 Years. 100 Places as Cuban Club, Ybor City.The building has a theater and once included a bowling alley, spa, pharmacy, ballroom, library, and cantina.

A Brief History: Prior to 1988, the North Carolina National Bank selected Tampa’s downtown waterfront edge as home for their corporate headquarters. Located south from the Tampa Museum of Art, NCNB Plaza was designed by award winning architect Harry Wolf and National Medal of Arts recipient Landscape Designer, Dan Kiley. Both designers collaborated and unveiled a total work of design of three parts; Tampa’s only cylindrical tower, two glass cube buildings and a garden all based on the Fibonacci sequence. The Fibonacci sequence is a series of numbers in which each number equals the sum of the two preceding numbers (1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21 or 1+1=2, 2+5= 5, 5+8=13 and so on). The Fibonacci sequence was used to determine window sizes, arrangements, proportions and patterns on all three parts of the NCNB Plaza. That is why these parts work so coherently as a total design, through orientation and placement. In 1988, NCNB Plaza, now referred as Kiley Gardens, looked very different than today. At the entrance of the park, an exposed north and south running translucent floating canal once carried water overhead. This canal showered visitors below with shimmering sunlight. The water also flowed along limestone runnels to a series of reflecting pools throughout Kiley Gardens. Part of the translucent canal still exists between the cube buildings and cylindrical building. During operation, Kiley Garden served as a host for weddings, festivals, student functions and art tours by the Tampa Museum of Art. Kiley Garden became an inspirational, urban design 'gem' along Tampa's Riverwalk. International publications about Kiley Garden drawn many tourists and scholars to visit Tampa. Current: Before recent renovations, Kiley Garden featured crape myrtles which were removed. These trees, as part of design, provided scale and shading for patrons. At times, trees cooled Kiley Gardens up to 10 degrees F less than unshaded areas! In addition, jasmine used throughout, provided a rich array of landscape color, and floral scent. Other items recently renovated includes the outdoor amphitheater, paving units, runnels, structure, electrical & irrigation. Goals: It is important that Kiley Garden is FULLY restored, with landscaping and water features as before. Due the recent restorations, through the specific guidelines of historic preservation, this is now possible. Further, Kiley Garden should be placed under local landmark designation. This will ensure Kiley Garden's future for years to come. ******************Quick facts********************** Key Facts about Kiley Gardens and the late Dan Kiley • Kiley Gardens qualifies for state and federal historic landmark designations. • As a historic landmark, Kiley Garden would be eligible to receive funding from private and public sectors, easing the financial hardship. • In 1988, Kiley Gardens was given to the City of Tampa to be maintained and used as a public space. • Kiley Gardens is Tampa’s first green roof/screened parking since 1988! Typical downtown parking consumes space, not allowing green or recreational space to occur. Kiley Gardens is a garden roof on top of a parking garage thus returning space to the public realm. • Kiley Gardens may reduce the Heat Island Effect. The Heat Island Effect increases summer temperatures in urban areas that lack green space because concrete absorbs then releases stored heat. Kiley Gardens may meet national urban green building standards which other cities are now adopting to make an environmental difference. • “Dan Kiley (b. 1912) is the only living landscape architect to have a landscape design bestowed with National Historic Landmark status. In fact, there are over 1,000 modern works of architecture listed on the National Register of Historic Places -- yet only one registered work of landscape architecture. Kiley’s work for the Miller family in Columbus, Indiana, (designed during the same period as Potomac Place) is a rare, surviving, pristine example of his design intent and sets a precedent for the registration of other such works.” -This article was prepared by Peter Lindsay Schaudt, FAAR, ASLA, a landscape architect with a private practice in Chicago, IL (http://www.tclf.org/kiley_tampa.htm) (further information to be updated, ver. 3/11)

Historic Ybor City is an exotic blend of sights and sounds, with a rich history to explore during the day and a sizzling nightlife to experience after sundown. The vibrant community embraces its past to create a culture that is uniquely Ybor City. Cigar factories from the 1800s have been converted into business lofts, art galleries, restaurants, shops and more. For decades, Spanish, Italian, Cuban, German and Jewish immigrants made their living by working in the cigar factories that were the main economic source for the city. Their legacy continues in the historic brick buildings and architecture unlike any in Florida. Founded by Vicente Martinez-Ybor, Ybor City has enjoyed a rich culture for more than a century. Ybor City is one of only two neighborhoods in Florida to be designated a National Historic Landmark District.

The Old People's Home is a historic building in the V.M. Ybor neighborhood of Tampa, Florida. It is located at 1203 East 22nd Avenue. On October 17, 2000, it was added to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places.Built in 1924, the two story, Colonial Revival style building with a grand, columned portico along the main facade was primarily designed by Frank A. Winn, Jr. and A.H. Johnson. It was Tampa's first privately supported and purpose-built home for the care of the elderly and represented a major civic achievement for the community. The building is set on a 4.5acre site which features several stately oak trees.The building continues to operate as a residential elder-care facility per its original intent as The Home Association, Inc., a not-for-profit Senior Skilled Nursing Facility.

For the similarly named building in West Tampa see El Centro Español of West TampaEl 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. It remains one of the few surviving structures specific to Spanish immigration to the United States during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, a legacy which garnered the Centro Español building recognition as a U.S. National Historic Landmark (NHL) on June 3, 1988. El Centro Español de Tampa is one of two individual structures within Hillsborough County to be so designated.The historic and cultural significance of El Centro Español de Tampa was noted well before the announcement of its NHL status. As early as 1974, the building was included by the National Register of Historic Places as one of the Contributing Properites within the Ybor City Historic District. The building remains an important component of the district, which on December 4, 1990, gained more distinct recognition as a National Historic Landmark District. It is now home to Jason Fernandez's restaurant Carne.

The Ybor Factory Building is a historic site in Tampa, Florida, United States. The main factory and its surrounding support buildings cover an entire city block between 8th Avenue and 9th Avenues and 13th and 14th Streets in the Ybor City Historic District section of the Ybor City neighborhood. C. E. Parcell is credited as the building's architect.The factory was built in 1886 by Vicente Martinez-Ybor as he moved the production of his Príncipe de Gales ("Prince of Wales") cigar line from Key West to the new company town he founded just northeast of Tampa in 1885. The headquarters of Ybor's holding company was directly across 9th Avenue in the El Pasaje building, which was constructed at about the same time.The three-story structure was the first brick cigar factory in Tampa and the largest cigar factory in the world at the time. Over the next few decades, skilled tabaqueros (cigar makers) would roll hundreds of millions of cigars on wooden workbenches set close together in the building's wide, sunlit rolling rooms.After Ybor died in 1896, the building was owned by a succession of other cigar manufacturers and continued to be a productive cigar factory until after World War II, when the industry (and Ybor City in general) entered a long period of decline.Over the next few decades, the buildings were vacant, then were used as gallery and studio space for artists, then converted to a festival marketplace called Ybor Square in the mid-1970s. In 2002, the buildings were converted to office space with the exception of a franchise of the Spaghetti Warehouse restaurant, which is still located in the former tobacco storage warehouse.

The S. H. Kress and Co. Building is a historic 1929 building in Tampa, Florida, United States. It was part of the S. H. Kress & Co. "five and dime" department store chain. On April 7, 1983, it was added to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places.Located at 811 N. Franklin Street, the building has a second fronting on Florida Avenue and is in the Renaissance Revival architectural style. G.E. McKay was the four story building's architect, and it includes masonry, suspended bronze marquee, extensive use of terra-cotta ornamentation (on both its facades). It was "one of the last major commercial structures built in Tampa before the Great Depression".The Kress store was located between a Woolworth and former J.J. Newberry. The buildings have been empty for more than a decade and redevelopment plans have stalled in the face of economic downturn. Plans by the Doran Jason Group to demolish two of the buildings and replace them with a "massive" condo development were held off in 2006. The Kress building would have been used as a lobby with office and retail space. The Newberry store was founded in 1911 and "is noted for its architecture", while lunch-counter sit-ins were held by civil rights activists at the Woolworth store in the 1960s.
