Armature Works

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.
