Bakery Owner Sees Future in Port Tampa

Many of us figured out that the historic Lester House at the corner of Interbay and Fitzgerald sold when the PODS container came and went. CAPT President Jill Buford announced last night that the purchaser is the owner of La Segunda Bakery in Ybor.
He plans to open a restaurant in the historic building and call it "1893" after the year the home was built. According to Jill, the plan is to be open for breakfast and lunch. We hope the beautiful garden is maintained for outdoor seating, and can already imagine a leisurely stroll down to 1893 for some cafe con leche and pastry. Sadly, with the old library torn down there is now land available behind the property for parking.
