This is a beautiful old department store that sits empty. There was once retail in Tampa. Now not so much. I blame Mayor Bob Buckhorn. He's all for big business.

The S. H. Kress and Co. Building in Tampa, Florida is a historic structure dating back to 1928, originally part of the renowned S. H. Kress Co. five and dime department store chain. Despite its closure in 1981, the building has remained a significant landmark in downtown Tampa, listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places since April 7, 1983.
Over the years, various redevelopment plans have been proposed for the Kress building and its surrounding block, with efforts to preserve, renovate, and redevelop the area. The Wilson Company, a local property management firm, acquired the block in 2017 with intentions to restore and repurpose the historic building, reflecting a commitment to honoring the architectural heritage of Tampa's past.
