Located on the University of Tampa's campus in a 511-room Moorish Revival resort designed by architect J. A. Wood, the Henry B. Plant Museum occupies the south wing of Plant Hall, originally built as the Tampa Bay Hotel. Opening on February 5, 1891, near the terminus of Henry B. Plant's rail line, the hotel exemplified Gilded Age opulence. The museum now displays artifacts related to the hotel's elite guests and its pivotal role during the Spanish–American War, arranged in period rooms that recreate the original historic interiors and reflect the refined leisure culture of late-nineteenth-century Florida tourism.
