AIA Tampa Bay and The Center for Architecture & Design
Tampa Bay Design Week - Recounting William Harvard's Legacy
When: Sat., March 14, 4-6 p.m. 2026
In conjunction with Preserve the ‘Burg, AIA Tampa Bay, and The President Barack Obama Main Library, come hear William Harvard Jr. speak about his father, renowned St. Petersburg Architect William Harvard at the newly renovated Barack Obama Library in St Petersburg. Native Floridian William B. Harvard, Sr. moved from Miami to St. Petersburg in the summer of 1938. Newly licensed as an architect and just four years out of the University of Cincinnati, Harvard recognized opportunity in a city of fewer than 60,000 residents—one still weighed down by the lingering effects of the Great Depression.
