The Bell Hotel was located on Woodruff Block at East First Street and North Park Avenue in Sanford, Florida. Built in 1895, the hotel was known for Joe's Smokehouse and Silas Biggers' peanut wagon which sat out front. The Bell Café was owned by a Greek immigrant, Manuel Dandelake. The building was also popular for its billiard parlor and cigar shop. The structure was demolished in October 1964 and replaced by a parking lot.
