Tourism in Central Florida began during the 1880's when the South Florida Railroad connected Sanford with Orlando, and by 1886 direct rail service from the North brought wealthy winter tourists to luxury hotels and private winter cottages throughout the area. The Longwood Hotel, built by Longwood founder Mr. Henck in plain view of railroad travelers to attract attention to his new town, is one of the only surviving wooden hotels and cottages from that era. Over the years it was renamed the Waltham and the St. George, and during the Roaring Twenties it was called the Orange and Black and was known throughout the area as the place to be on a Saturday night. In 1972 local resident Mrs. Robert Bradford purchased the hotel and called it The Village Inn, and in the 1980's it was restored again and equipped as a modern office building. It is listed in the National Register of Historic Places. Also listed in the National Register of Historic Places, the Bradley/McIntyre House was built in 1887 in the Boston winter enclave of Altamonte Springs five miles south as a private winter cottage for the wealthy Boston architect Nathaniel Bradley. It served as the residence of Mr. and Mrs. S.M. McIntyre for 40 years, fell into disrepair in the 1960s because it was expensive to maintain, became the property of the Central Florida Society for Historic Preservation in 1973, was moved to its current location, and was restored and furnished in the late Victorian style.
