What a adu / accessory dwelling project looks like here
Ybor City is one of only three National Historic Landmark districts in Florida (alongside St. Augustine and Pensacola), designated for its 1885-1930 cigar-factory and Latin immigrant fabric — every exterior change requires Barrio Latino Commission Certificate of Appropriateness.
Adaptive reuse of the 1890-1920 brick cigar factories (Sanchez y Haya, V. M. Ybor, Regensburg) into residential lofts is the dominant remodel pattern; FBC requires fire-rated assemblies between residential units in heavy-timber + load-bearing-brick structures.
Barrio Latino Commission review is more restrictive than Tampa ARC and applies to a smaller core area; Cuban-tile, novelty-siding, and clay-barrel-tile replacement must match originals from a pre-approved supplier list.

Who is Baily?
Baily is named after Francis Baily — an English stockbroker who retired at 51, became an astronomer, and in 1836 described something on the edge of a solar eclipse that nobody had properly articulated before: a string of bright beads of sunlight breaking through the valleys along the moon’s rim.
He wasn’t the first to see them. Edmond Halley saw them in 1715 and barely noticed. Baily’s contribution was clarity — describing exactly what was happening, in plain language, so vividly that the whole field of astronomy paid attention. The phenomenon is still called Baily’s beads.
That’s what we wanted our AI to do. Every inbound call and text has signal in it — a homeowner’s real question, a timeline, a budget, a hesitation that means “yes but.” Baily listens to every one, 24/7, and finds the beads of light.
Baily was a businessman before he was a scientist. That’s our vibe too.
