Cross-posted from DemConWatch Matt posted an update to yesterday's post about the unveiling of the 2012 Republican National Convention Host Committee's logo. If you look at the buildings you may notice a minaret.
The actual building is part of the Tampa Bay Hotel and opened in 1891.
The newspapers of the day described it as "brightly illuminated, filled with sumptuous decorations, thrilling music and graced with turrets, domes and minarets towering heavenward and glistening in the sun."
