The Hillsborough County Courthouse was constructed in 1892 in the block bounded by Madison Street, Lafayette Street (now
Kennedy Boulevard), Florida Avenue, and Franklin Street. This replaced an older courthouse in the same place.[1] Designed by
John A. Wood, it included some of the
Moorish architectural styles and domes similar to the
Tampa Bay Hotel, which was also designed by Wood, across the
Hillsborough River. It was demolished in 1953[2][3] and replaced with the current
Hillsborough County Courthouse, four blocks to the east.
