The El Centro Español of West Tampa is a historic site in the West Tampa neighborhood of Tampa, Florida, United States. It is located at 2306 North Howard Avenue. On July 30, 1974, it was added to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places.
The Centro of West Tampa was a branch of El Centro Espanol of Ybor City, and was built using membership dues of cigar workers in Ybor City and West Tampa. Members could use either building for amenities such as a gym, casino (game room), cafe, etc.
The building has been empty for years, and private attempts at restoration have been slow due to the high costs involved. However, the city of Tampa is considering restoring the Centro and using it as a temporary home for the Tampa Museum of Art while a new museum building is built downtown.
