Circulo Cubano de Tampa
El Circulo Cubano de Tampa (also known as the Cuban Club) is a historic building constructed
in 1917 (to replace an earlier structure on the same site that burned down) to serve as a gathering
place for Cuban immigrants in Ybor City, Tampa, Florida. It was designed by Tampa architect M.
Leo Elliott. It is located at Palm Avenue and 14th Street. On November 15, 1972, it was added to
the U.S. National Register of Historic Places. On April 18, 2012, the AIA’s Florida Chapter
placed the building on its list of Florida Architecture: 100 Years. 100 Places as Cuban Club, Ybor
City. The building has a theater and once included a bowling alley, spa, pharmacy, ballroom,
library, and cantina. Decorated with imported tile, stained glass, scraffito spandrels and murals it
continues the legacy of the club first established in 1902 as a mutual aid society. the Cuban Club
was constructed in 1917 to serve as a haven for local Cuban immigrants and is listed on the
National Register of Historic Places. With its yellow brick exterior, neoclassical design cues and
pristine ivory columns, this proud four-story building is awash with the elegance of the 1920s
and it’s well-suited for couples seeking a wedding space rich with the color and texture of days
gone by. The building offers a handful of spaces for weddings and receptions and is suitable for
gatherings of all sizes. Choose this setting for nuptials that crackle with the heat and drama of old
Cuba. The Cuban Club boasts indoor spaces with high ceilings and golden natural light pouring
in from tall windows. Outdoor gatherings are accommodated on a large private patio.
