    Inside the tower is an old water tank that was once used for the fire sprinkler system.

    Cool, didn’t know that about the water tank in the tower. I’m amazed that neither of the companies (Tampa Tarp and Fla. Umbrella) make any effort on their websites to feature the history and architecture of this historic building.
