Description
Episode 38 of RICHES Podcast Documentaries: The Wells Built Hotel. RICHES Podcast Documentaries are short form narrative documentaries that explore Central Florida history and are locally produced. These podcasts can involve the participation or cooperation of local area partners. <br /><br />Episode 38 focuses on the Wells' Built Hotel, which was constructed at 511 West South Street in Orlando, Florida in 1921. The hotel was constructed by one of Orlando's first African-American physicians, Dr. William Monroe Wells, to accommodate African-Americans who could not otherwise find welcome lodging due to segregation. Dr. Wells also built the South Street Casino, which was host to a various African-American performers traveling along the Chitlin' Circuit. In 1997, the building was acquired by the Association to Preserve African American Society, History and Tradition, Inc., which sought to restore and preserve the structure. Although the casino no longer remains, the original Wells' Built Hotel was added to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places on February 4, 2000. In June 2009, the hotel reopened as the Wells' Built Museum of African American History and Culture.
Abstract
Amidst a racially segregated Central Florida, one of Orlando’s first black physicians, Dr. William Monroe Wells, constructed a hotel to accommodate African-Americans who could not otherwise find welcome lodging. Next door, he built the South St. Casino, which in its prime was host a thrilling list of visiting performers from the famous “Chitlin’ Circuit,” as well as other prominent African-Americans. In this podcast, Dr. Benjamin D. Brotemarkle talks about the rise, fall, and restoration of this historic landmark.

Hotel Forrest Lake Collection
Description
Originally named after the Sanford Mayor and president of Seminole County Bank, the Forrest Lake Hotel has also been known as the Mayfair Inn and was briefly occupied by the Sanford Naval Academy. In 1916, construction of the building began. Local architect Elton J. Moughton designed the hotel. In 1925, Hotel Forrest Lake opened and became a popular destination for tourists visiting Sanford.
By 1929, the hotel closed after the stock market crash and the downfall of Florida's tourism and real estate boom. William E. Kirchhoff leased the building in 1934 and the hotel reopened in 1935 with the new name Mayfair Hotel. Under Kirchhoff's ownership, the Mayfair Hotel became known as one of the finest hotels in the South.
Kirchhoff sold the hotel in 1948 to Horace Stoneham, owner of the New York Giants. Stoneham then sold the building to the Bernard McFadden Foundation, who later sold it to the New Tribes Mission. The New Tribes Mission's goal is to reach tribes who have no access to the Gospel through translated publications and missionary work.

Abstract
Caption: "With all the official who have spent time at the old Mayfair Hotel in Sanford over the years, you might say this photo could represent "the seat of our government." Then again, with the New York Giants, (Early Wynn, Jackie Robinson, Willy Mayrs, Babe Ruth, etc.) staying at the hotel back in the '50s, it could be considered the "seat of baseball." The three facilities have recently been replaced at the New Tribes MIssion in Sanford. According to Maintenance Coordinator Roget Wilkinson, they were part of the original facilities installed in the mian bathroom when the hotel was constructed in 1925. (It opened as the Hotel Forrest Lake on Jan. 4, 1926, an later became the Mayfair Hotel). That makes the facilities approximately 78 years old. Oh, think of the stories they could tell. There was a fourth one, which was not discarded, but rather is being kept in storage at New Tribes Mission. Wilkinson said it is plainly marked "Mayfair Hotel." (Information gather by Herald Staff Writer Nick Pfeifauf)."

With all of the officials who have spent time at the old Mayfair Hotel in Sanford over the years, you might say this photo could represent "the seat of our government." Then again, with the New York Giants, (Early Wynn, Jackie Robinson, Willy Mays, Babe Ruth, etc.) staying at the hotel back in the '50s, it could be considered the "seat of baseball." The three facilities have recently been replaced at the New Tribes Mission in Sanford. According to Maintenance Coordinator Roger Wilkinson, they were part of the original facilities installed in the main bathroom when the hotel was constructed in 1925 (It opened as the Hotel Forrest Lake on Jan. 4, 1926, and later became the Mayfair Hotel). That makes the facilities approximately 78 years old. Oh, think of the stories they could tell. There was a fourth one, which was not discarded, but rather is being kept in storage at New Tribes Mission. Wilkinson said it is plainly marked "Mayfair Hotel." (Information gathered by Herald Staff Writer Nick Pfeifauf).
