History of the Villa Dora
W.T. Bland Public Library (Mount Dora) - Community Room
In-Person
Learn the fascinating history of one of Mount Dora’s historic hotels, The Villa Dora. In the early years of Mount Dora’s development, when there were no chain hotels or motels to accommodate the traveling population, there was instead a number of privately owned establishments, referred to as either boarding houses or inns. This presentation will discuss its transformation from a private residence of those early years to the current six story structure that stands at this location today. Research has been gathered from the county’s public records and other historical publications and documents by our presenter, surveyor, historian and Archives volunteer John Hoechst. No registration required. Refreshments served.
