It’s full of soul and history!!! That use to be a hotel for celebrity people of color that would come to tampa to perform !! Because The FLORIDIAN HOTEL downtown wouldn’t allow people of color to rent rooms

That’s the Jackson house. They’re trying to get it permitted to turn into a museum due to the historical significance. But 717 owns the parking lot right next to it and they’re not willing to give up their space.

Lmao that’s an old slave quarters. It’s historic,there is a plaque outside of it explaining. They have plans to do something with it to keep it standing. Until then it’s held together by the old ancestors.

This house was the only place Black entertainers could stay. It wasnt only the Jackson’s, it was all black entertainers, that came to Tampa to do concerts. But on the real i don’t think it’s repairable.
