General Note
An historic marker next to the building reads, "The second brick building erected in Ybor City. The Cherokee Club was a popular rendevous for the elite in the 1890's. Later became known as El Pasaje Restaurant. Its fame spread throughout the Americas. Jose Marti slept here on his first trip, Nov. 25, 1891. Before retiring he said, 'I feel happy amongst warriors.' Others who came here were Col. Teddy Roosevelt, Pres. Grover Cleveland, Sir Winston Churchill, Gen. Leonard Wood and Frederick Remington. From 1890 to 1935 all Governors of Florida were feted here."
