Gutierrez Building, 1603 East Seventh Avenue, Tampa, Hillsborough County, FL
Summary
Significance: The Gutierrez building was owned by one of the first Spaniards to arrive in Tampa, Gavino Gutierrez. He was instrumental in convincing Vincent Martinez Ybor and Ignacio Haya to move their cigar factories to Tampa, which later developed into a city. Ybor started a trend which resulted in Tampa eventually becoming the largest manufacturer of cigars in the world. The building as first constructed had a decorative balcony which was among the first architectural ornaments in Ybor City.
