Casitas built between 1895 and the early 1900s for cigar workers' families were among the earliest structures in Ybor City. The houses rented for $1.50 to $2.50 and payments were deducted from the worker's wages. Tampa Poet Silvia Curbelo wrote the following poem which is on the piece: is music in my fingers, a story I tell over and over, slowly, like a man in love. My hands move through a day's wages.
