Mace Multimedia Moves to Historic Building in Ybor City

Mace Multimedia, a local marketing and design firm, have moved their office to a historic building in Ybor City. On the corner of 16th and 7th Avenue sits a building once owned by Tampa’s first crime lord, Charlie Wall. Commonly known as White Shadow, Charlie Wall was a legendary bootlegger, fixed elections, and ran bolita, an illegal lottery, during the 1920s and 30s. The brick building used to be a brothel and often housed speakeasy sessions during the turbulent times of Ybor City’s past. Now, the building contains apartments and office spaces on the top level and a restaurant/bar on the bottom level. Mace Multimedia owners, Gabrielle Perham and Manny Potter, love the history of the building. “Our new Ybor City location serves as daily inspiration.  The building’s wild past, its unique setting, and the energy that surrounds it outside all work to inspire our creativity and motivate us to do great things each day.”

The Mace Multimedia team is excited about their new location and the opportunities for growth that could come from it. Visit their new office at 1603 ½ East 7th Avenue, Suite 5, Tampa, FL or call 813-704-0460 for more information.
