The Rich History Behind The Chiselers
Since 1959, The Chiselers have dedicated themselves to restoring and preserving Plant Hall, a jewel of Tampa history. What started as a small group of 27 women, who earned the name “The Chiselers” by chipping away mortar from the hotel’s original fireplace tiles, has grown into a volunteer force of over 250 members.
Today, The Chiselers’ efforts include renovating the iconic silver minarets, restoring historic windows and doors, and preserving the floors, foundations, and balconies that make Plant Hall one of the most photographed buildings in Tampa. Every purchase at the Chiselers Market helps continue this vital work, ensuring the architectural legacy endures for future generations.
