Armature Works
Tampa, FL, USA- Spaces for 200-700 Guests

- 4 Event Spaces
The Armature Works building, originally known as the TECO streetcar warehouse, performed a significant role for the City of Tampa as the Tampa Electric Street and Railway Company's repair and storage facility (formerly known as the Streetcar Barn). The barn played a crucial role in Tampa's growth by tying the nearby neighborhoods together. The system was discontinued in 1946 in favor of the vehicle, a more contemporary source of transportation. TECO sold the structure to Tampa Armature Works, a producer of phosphate machinery, in 1960. Armature Works has been restored to its original purpose and is now a mixed-use commercial facility that serves as the hub of the Heights area. The Armature Works is a completely renovated mixed-use structure that gives the storied Tampa Heights neighborhood new life. The historic building has been transformed into a renowned community destination with cutting-edge eateries, Heights Public Market, and new event spaces thanks to its unhindered perspective of the Hillsborough River. Rethink the next event you plan at Armature Works. There is a place for every occasion among the six historic event locations that provide exposed brick, hardwood flooring, and breathtaking views of the Hillsborough River and Downtown Tampa Skyline. You will be guided by our knowledgeable staff to the best vendors the city has to offer.
