An architectural "Tampa Delight" of sarcastic delight, at a government office building from 1991. by Tim Kiser

An architectural "Tampa Delight" of sarcastic delight, at a government office building from 1991.

Verily it was built from 1988 to 1991 as "Two Mack Center," named by developer William Mack in honor of himself, and was conveniently bought by the government of Hillsborough County in 1992, after William Mack could not find any tenants for the new building. It became "Hillsborough County Center," and later "Frederick B. Karl County Center" in honor of Fred Karl, the county administrator who orchestrated the public's purchase of the unsightly building from William Mack.

-----------------------

In downtown Tampa, Florida, on November 23rd, 2021, the Frederick B. Karl County Center (designed by HKS, Inc., clad in "rose granite") at the northeast corner of East Jackson Street (U.S. 41 Business Route and Florida State Road 60) and North Morgan Street, as viewed from North Morgan Street north of East Whiting Street.

Tall Building at 601 East Kennedy Blvd, DowntownTampa, Florida

This Photograph shows one of the Tall Buildings in Downtown Tampa, Florida. This is a typical City Scape in Downtown Tampa, where everyone is rushing to and from work, the Banks and/ or shopping. The Banking Industry is the only one where there are more than enough, yet they keep building more. Where they keep building them, while getting rid of all the Tellers. Maybe I'm just cynical ! How High Can They Go Till They Completely Block Out The Sun ?

I believe that this is the Building located at 601 East Kennedy Blvd. The Building is bounded by E. Kennedy Blvd, N. Morgan Street, East Jackson Street and Pierce Street.
