Florida/Cuba/Royal/Cazin Theatre (West Tampa)
On October 22, 1914, M. Y. Diaz opened a drug store and the Florida Theatre at 1305 Howard Avenue (on the NW corner of Howard and Main). In 1916, P. Villiadonga purchased Diaz's theatre space and moved his Cuba Theatre (originally at 1309 Howard Avenue) to its new location. In April of 1918, the Cuba Theatre burned down. The Diaz corner was rebuilt and the Royal Theatre occupied the corner from about 1921 to 1926. In 1926, Leon Cazin leased the space from M. Y. Diaz and opened the Cazin Theatre.
