Here is an item about this theater from the August 24, 1966 issue of Motion Picture Exhibitor:

“Construction was slated on St. Petersburg’s first twin, which would occupy over five acres on the southeast edge of Central Plaza. The estimated cost of the Florida State Theatres house is $325,000. Robert Collins is the architect. FST already operates three downtown St. Petersburg theatres—the Florida, State, and Cameo.”
