20051020 - The Samuel I. Davis cigar factory, 900 N. Howard Ave.,
built in 1930, assessed value, $487,000. The owners of this factory,
and several others in Tampa, oppose having their properties designed
local landmarks, which would require approval of a city Architechtural
Review Board before demolishing the buildings or making major changes.
Nearly 200 cigar factories once peppered Tampa's urban landscape, now
only 26 remain.(Brian Cassella / St. Petersburg Times)
