Weeks after Tampa pledged $1 million for its restoration, part of the historic Jackson House has collapsed.<\/p>\n

TAMPA, Fla. \u2014 Another portion of the historic Jackson House in downtown Tampa has collapsed, just weeks after Tampa’s City Council approved committing $1 million in funding<\/a> to help save the dilapidated segregation-era rooming house.<\/p>\n

Photos sent exclusively to 10 Investigates on Labor Day show a section of the building\u2019s east side has crumbled, raising questions about the building\u2019s stability and future restoration efforts.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Jackson House was once one of the only places Black travelers could stay in Tampa during the Jim Crow<\/a> era. It attracted many well-known names, including the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., who visited the house.<\/p>\n

In recent years, the Jackson House Foundation has received millions<\/a> of dollars in public and private donations to restore the building; however, some city council members expressed concern that progress has been slow.<\/p>\n

10 Investigates has reached out to the Jackson House Foundation for comment and is waiting to hear back.\u00a0<\/p>\n

This is a developing story. More information will be provided as it becomes available.<\/p>\n
