S. H. Kress and Co. Building
S. H. Kress and Co. Building, Art Deco commercial building in Tampa, Florida.
The S. H. Kress and Co. Building at 811 N. Franklin Street features four floors with masonry construction and extensive terra-cotta ornamentation on its facades.
Constructed in 1928 as part of the S. H. Kress & Co. department store chain, this structure represents one of Tampa's final major commercial buildings before the Great Depression.
The building stands in the Kress block, near locations where civil rights activists conducted lunch-counter protests during the 1960s against segregation policies.
Following its closure in 1981, the structure remains vacant while multiple renovation proposals seek to transform it into modern office and retail spaces.
The building maintains its original suspended bronze marquee and includes a second entrance facing Florida Avenue, demonstrating early 20th-century architectural planning.
