From "The WPA Guide to Florida"
Centro Asturiano (Spanish Club), SE corner Nebraska and Palm Aves., a two-story rectangular buff brick building of neoclassic design, was erected in 1913. It contains a library, club rooms, ballroom, and a theater in which plays and operas in English and Spanish are produced, often by artits from Cuba and Spain. Members are chiefly of Spanish blood, but others are admitted. The club, a branch of the organization in Havana, maintains a general hospital.
The building is still used for the original purpose but the club hasn't maintained a hospital since the mid-50's. Visit this site: http://www.centroasturianotampa.org/ for more information.
