The two-story home is built of stucco over a wooden frame and has nearly 6000 square feet of space. The facade is highlighted by a projecting entry bay, an enclosed raised terrace, a dramatic low-pitched roof with deep cantilevered eaves, one-storey wings, and bands of distinctive windows with “tree of life” designs. Massive Prairie-style planters decorate the parapets. The interior features beautiful mahogany, teak, and walnut wood trim from Brazil and Cuba.

In 1906, he established the Tampa Box Company with five acres in Ybor City and six on the Hillsborough Rive
