1898

The intersection of Seventh Avenue and Twentysecond Street was a sandy cross-road connecting three army encampments in the Ybor City area during the Spanish-American War.

At this cross-road was located a water-trough where the Rough Riders watered their mounts.

Col. "Teddy" Roosevelt frequently rode by here on his horse "Texas," followed by this little dog, "Cuba."
