It's obviously old,
and looks like it might have been a church,
but now it's a nightclub.
Here are links to photographs of the building when it was the Clark Memorial Baptist Church and Baptist Goodwill Center -- back when it was much taller!

Wow! So what happened? How did the building get smaller. That's a tough thing to do. I would suspect a fire might have burned it to a point. Then rebuilding on what was left. I wonder what happened????
ReplyDeleteI guess the police officer in front of the building wouldn't know... :)
Sad that the faithful have been replaced by likely heathens!-As the builders of the church would likely point out from the graves. But at least the building is still there.
Hi there, being a German transplant to Tampa I very much enjoy your blog to learn about my new surroundings and the country I live in now.
