The Parliament House Motor Inn chain was founded in Kansas City, Missouri, by Ned Eddy, Sr. and his two sons, Ned Eddy, Jr. and James "Jimmy" Eddy. The Orlando Parliament House was a 120-room hotel and the first motor inn established by the chain. The inn was designed by Alan Berman and was built on Orlando’s Rock Lake by Hodes and Cumming Construction. Parliament House officially opened on February 11, 1962. Ned Eddy, Jr. served as the inn manager and his brother, Jimmy Eddy, was the manager of the cocktail lounge.

With the opening of the Walt Disney World Resort in 1971, came the construction of hotels and motels on International Drive, leaving the Parliament House Motor Inn outside the tourist district. The motor inn soon became a hotspot for prostitution as the OBT area declined. By 1975, the Parliament House was near bankruptcy. On March 27, 1975, William G. Miller (d. 1987) and Michael Hodge (d. 1992) purchased the motor inn and converted it into a gay resort. A couple of years after the deaths of Bill Miller and Mike Hodge, the Parliament House was sold to Susan Unger and Don Granatstein in August of 1999. Unger and Granatstein began renovating the resort, which had been in decline since Hodge's death in 1992. Renovations were completed in 2000. The Parliament House again faced foreclosure in 2010 and filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy on July 25, 2014. Stakeholders approved a $14-million debt relief plan in February of 2015.]]> 40 Years of the Parliament House: GLBT History Museum of Central Florida, Inc., 2015.]]> GLBT History Museum of Central Florida, Inc.]]> IDEAS]]> Orlando Collection, Orange County Collection, RICHES of Central Florida.]]> Adobe Flash Player]]> Java]]> GLBT History Museum of Central Florida, Inc..]]> GLBT History Museum of Central Florida, Inc. and is provided here by RICHES of Central Florida for educational purposes only.]]> Museum of Seminole County History, Sanford, Florida.]]> Museum of Seminole County History, Sanford, Florida.]]> Seminole County Collection, RICHES of Central Florida.]]> Museum of Seminole County History and is provided here by RICHES of Central Florida for educational purposes only.]]> Museum of Seminole County History, Sanford, Florida.]]> Museum of Seminole County History, Sanford, Florida.]]> Seminole County Collection, RICHES of Central Florida.]]> Museum of Seminole County History and is provided here by RICHES of Central Florida for educational purposes only.]]> Orlando Remembered Exhibit, Downtown Orlando Post Office, Downtown Orlando, Florida.]]> Orlando Remembered Exhibit, Downtown Orlando Post Office, Downtown Orlando, Florida.

In 1912, Coe returned to Florida and spent the next 20 years traveling the coast in his cabin cruiser called The Buccaneer. After retiring from the GPO in 1921, Coe spent much of his time exploring Florida's coast as an amateur archaeologist and publishing books, including Juggling a Rope (1927), The Art of Knife Throwing (1931), and Debunking the So-Called Spanish Mission (1941).

In 1917, Alice Osceola, the wife of William McKinley Osceola, became the first known woman to wear patchwork adornment on her clothing. As more women took up the practice, the clothing became more elaborate and colorful. Indigenous women made patchwork articles to sell to tourists visiting their camps and settlements. Patchwork clothing and goods became a hallmark of the tribes' handicrafts and sales of these items helped support many Seminole and Miccosukee families before the arrival of the gaming industry. Seminole seamstresses made these dolls out of red palmetto fibers and dressed them in patchwork-style clothing like that of the tribe's women. The dolls are highly prized today by collectors of Seminole Indian artifacts. These specific dolls date to the 1940s and were donated to the Museum of Seminole County History by Clarabel Van Tuyl.]]> Museum of Seminole County History, Sanford, Florida.]]> Museum of Seminole County History, Sanford, Florida.]]> Seminole County Collection, RICHES of Central Florida.]]> Museum of Seminole County History by Clarabel Van Tuyl.]]> Museum of Seminole County History and is provided here by RICHES of Central Florida for educational purposes only.]]> Museum of Seminole County History, Sanford, Florida.]]> Museum of Seminole County History, Sanford, Florida.]]> Seminole County Collection, RICHES of Central Florida.]]> Museum of Seminole County History by the Mid-Florida Archaeological and Historical Society.]]> RICHES of Central Florida for educational purposes only.]]> Museum of Seminole County History, Sanford, Florida.]]> Museum of Seminole County History, Sanford, Florida.]]> Seminole County Collection, RICHES of Central Florida.]]> Museum of Seminole County History and is provided here by RICHES of Central Florida for educational purposes only.]]> The Central Florida Press on June 20, 1930.

Oviedo's earliest settlers grew citrus and celery on the area's mucky, rich topsoil. While citrus was the dominant crop for sometime, celery took the lead after the Great Freeze of 1894-1895, which destroyed many citrus groves in the Central Florida area.
