Quoting from the Day Spa's website:
The main house is a one-story framed vernacular with a wood frame structural system, rectangular plan, and rests on brick piers and brick infill. This Craftsman style Bungalow was purchased through a catalogue. The Craftsman houses were inspired originally by the work of Henry and Charles Greene from California.
The front-gabled roof is clad in composition shingles and there is a full length porch. The windows are wooden, double hung sash types with one-over-one light configurations. The front-gable end fea-tures a wood fixed attic window with twenty lights that are flank-ed by vents. Wooden shingles are also present as well as den-tils along the archive. The house exhibits exposed rafter tails under the eves and decorative knee brackets. The front door is a 34" nine panel glass door topped with a transom. The entire interior and exterior have been fully restored. All interior doors were strip-ped of lead based paint and stained. Note the size of the two closet doors and rear bathroom door. They are significantly smaller and more narrow than the rest.
Also notice the tall 10 foot ceilings and an arch that divides the living room and dining room. Every window and door is trimmed in decorative wood molding. The house has 8' baseboards, hardwood floors, and a fireplace. In addition, there are chandeliers and ant-ique furniture in every room. The walls are decorated with gorgeous paintings that are on consignment from Gold Dragon Art Gallery - 3508 S. Manhattan Ave, Tampa, FL 33629 (813) 832-2755.
The business is Seminole Heights family owned and operated. All of the employees live in Seminole Heights.
On a side note, Ms. Graham helps the women who participate in the programs at Tampa Crossroads. She goes to Tampa Crossroads Residential Program and cuts their hair without charge. On Valentine's Day she has the women come and enjoy a Day Spa treatment.
I am living in Seminole Heights for a short time. The employees and owner of this salon went out of their way to make me feel welcome and special. I was pampered and the girl that did my nails also cut my hair. I will drive from my work in Land O Lakes Fl. to return to this salon. They are caring and competent, for the needs of the professional woman who wants her hair and nails to reflect current and stylish trends.
