TAMPA THEATRE
It's gaudy. It's over the top. It's Tampa Theatre.

Pan to the right and you'll see the organ that is usually played before the movie begins, then descends into the floor of the stage. Pan up and spin around to get a good look at the ceiling and balconies.

When the theater opened on Franklin Street in 1926, it was Tampa's first air-conditioned building. Currently, the downtown movie house shows alternative film fare.
