Port Tampa City Library

Port Tampa City Library

The Port Tampa City Library is a prominent feature in the “South Side” of Tampa, Florida. It used to be the Commerce Bank Building, which was constructed by James G. Yeats in 1926 for his First Bank of Port Tampa City.

I often pass it on my way to Picnic Island, and it draws my eye for the sheer fact that there is not a single structure within miles that even remotely resembles it. It dominates. Finally decided to stop and take a picture.
