We have partnered with the City of Tampa Public Art program, which is providing several of the photos we will be using this year, including the one on this issue’s cover of the historical neo-classical Exchange National Bank building on Franklin Street in downtown Tampa, built in 1919. The building today has been renovated and re-purposed into an event space called The Vault. HCBA will be holding its Welcome Back Membership Reception at The Vault on September 11. The photo is by Beth Reynolds, 2003 City of Tampa Photographer Laureate. Photo courtesy of City of Tampa.
