By the mid 1920s Mediterranean Revival and Craftsman were the dominant building styles in Tampa. Then the bust! Building slowed all over Florida. Just as this was happening new building styles were emerging, styles that embraced new building materials, lighter forms and new shapes. Modernism was a style fashioned for Florida, it is where styles like Miami Modern and the Sarasota School were championed. But what and where is Tampa's Modern legacy? We'll take a peek of what is left and what has disappeared in each corner of the city. You may be surprised or you may, just like me, enjoy looking at these structures of concrete and glass and varying shapes.
