<p>The Studebaker Building (also known as the USGS Center for Coastal
and Watershed Studies) is a historic site in St. Petersburg, Florida.
It is located at 600 4th Street South. On July 5, 1985, it was added
to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places.<p>

Built in 1925, the Studebaker Building is historically significant for
its association with the Florida Land Boom of the 1920s and the
relationship of the automobile industry and suburbanization. The
building symbolizes the importance of the Studebaker automobile within
that industry in the 1920s, particularly the Peninsular Motor Company
of southwest Florida, the fourth largest Studebaker dealer in volume
in the country by 1925. When the building opened, the company was the
fourth largest Studebaker dealer in the world. The company employed
300 people, with 56 working in St. Petersburg's showroom. However, by
1926 the Peninsular Motor Company went bankrupt as a result of the
collapse of the boom, and the Studebaker Building was closed.<p>
