This renovated building has a ton of charm, and an interesting history to the property. Before it became the "Don Vincente" it was a medical clinic in downtown Ybor City, the building stood abandoned for many years before the current owners opened the Inn. We were shown pictures of the building pre-restoration, and I noted that while the second level of the building seemed to have been fully renovated, the lower levels still had the classic WW2 style plumbing for the sprinkler systems. Upon comparison to the "pre renovation" pics..you can clearly see this plumbing also. I am trying to dig up the actual history of the building as far as it's medical days...have been informed by the owners that upon beginning their "clean-up" to restore the building..they found metal cages in the basement...this also compliments the story that this was a medical building at one time, due to the fact that medicines would have been locked away in cages, and stored in a cooler area of the building..the basement would have been perfect for that. Types of activity reported include a full manifestation of a figure in the basement bathrooms, and dis-embodied voices from all areas of the building. Upon review of audio, several suspected EVP's have already been found..will be posting them as we prepare the file. Also, note to this location..being in the heart of Ybor, causes alot of contamination from the outside on the weekends..party goers tend to be loud and wreak havock..so note this on any recordings as you are proceeding..it makes the evidence hard to actually discern 100% as paranormal.
definitely a really cool place though..would love to go back on a weekday when all is quiet.
