Jackson House Restoration Moves Forward
from Tampa News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!
The Jackson House, a vital stop for Black travelers and activists during segregation, is finally getting the restoration it deserves — despite its current dilapidated state. Carolyn Collins, head of the foundation, admits the building’s condition is heartbreaking, even causing her to avoid it, but she’s determined to move forward. Contrary to rumors, they’re not neglecting the property — they’ve secured funding for restoration, but need help covering daily operational costs like insurance and storage. The next big step? Finalizing the construction management contract, and they’re raising funds this Thursday in downtown Tampa to keep the project alive and give everyone a hopeful update on this historic landmark’s future.
