Jackson Rooming House
Jackson Rooming House, African American boarding house from the Jim Crow era in Tampa, United States.
The Jackson Rooming House, a two-story wooden structure with 24 rooms, stands at 851 Zack Street near Tampa's former Union Station train depot.
Moses and Sarah Jackson established this residence in 1901 to provide lodging for Black travelers during a period when racial segregation restricted accommodation options.
Musicians Ray Charles, James Brown, Nat King Cole, and civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr resided in this dwelling during their visits to Tampa.
The Jackson House Foundation manages restoration efforts and accepts donations to transform the National Register of Historic Places site into an educational museum.
In 2019, Tampa Bay Lightning owner Jeff Vinik contributed one million dollars to preserve this remaining structure from Tampa's segregation period.
