Description
Established in 1931, the University of Tampa is located in the former Tampa Bay Hotel. Railroad tycoon Henry B. Plant, who was instrumental in Tampa's development, built this Victorian-style / Moorish-Turkish Revival building to attract wealthy tourists away from the East Coast. Part of the university served as Theodore Roosevelt's headquarters during the Spanish American War.
