90 years ago…

February 3, 1916 – Hundreds of Tampans celebrate the opening of the city’s new water reservoir with a party in the large underground basin. According to a story in the Tampa Morning Tribune, “tables and chairs were placed on the floor of the reservoir and punch and clear Havanas were served to the invited guests.”
