Studebaker Building, Automotive heritage building in downtown St. Petersburg, Florida.
The Studebaker Building at 600 4th Street South features Tudor Revival architecture with a grand showroom and extensive service facilities.
Built in 1925 during Florida's land boom, this structure housed the Peninsular Motor Company, which became the fourth largest Studebaker dealer nationwide.
The building embodies the early 20th-century automotive industry influence on American urban development and transportation infrastructure.
Currently operating as the USGS St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center, the building maintains its original architectural character.
The dealership employed 300 people at its peak, with 56 staff members working specifically in the St. Petersburg showroom before facing bankruptcy in 1926.
