Ormond Beach Historical Society Unveils Restored Model of Famed Ormond Hotel

The Ormond Hotel, an iconic landmark in Ormond Beach built in 1887, has been immortalized in a meticulously restored scale model. Originally a luxury resort expanded by Henry Flagler, the hotel was a significant wooden structure with 400 rooms, hosting notable guests like John D. Rockefeller Sr. Converted into a retirement home in the 1950s, it was later deemed hazardous and demolished in 1992, with only the cupola preserved.

The model, created by Dr. Wayne Lowell and refurbished by Don Bostrom, underwent extensive restoration by modelmaker Mark Bigelow. It is now displayed at the MacDonald House in Ormond Beach, open to the public, showcasing the hotel's historical significance.
