1896–1902Florida Brewing Company building82 6TampaIn its prime, The Florida Brewing Company produced 80,000 barrels of beer annually, making it the leading exporter of beer to Cuba in the U.S. and the premier brewery on Florida's West coast. The Florida Brewing Company survived the Prohibition and continued to thrive through the Great Depression. However, the embargo on Cuba and the opening of the Anheuser-Busch Company in Tampa ultimately led to its closing in 1961.
A cigar company later took over the building. It also served as a bomb shelter during the Cold War. The building was eventually abandoned and fell into disrepair until it was restored in 1999. It now serves as offices for the law firm of Swope, Rodante P.A.
