Two historic buildings in New Port Richey, the Pasco Building and Leeston-Smith Building, stand as enduring symbols of the city’s growth over a century. Constructed in 1926 by local contractors and renowned architect Thomas Reed Martin, they witnessed New Port Richey’s evolution through economic shifts. The Pasco Building features an iconic octagonal cupola, while the Leeston-Smith Building showcases Moorish architecture and adaptive reuse. Both structures housed prominent businesses, from pharmacies to cafes, and adapted to changing needs, including apartments for elderly citizens. Today, they remain vibrant hubs with restaurants, boutiques, and salons, preserving their historical significance while serving modern communities.
