This sole remaining public landmark of the town of Pasadena was built in the 1880's and, like the nearby Lakeview Highlands Hotel, served as a social center in a citrus growing community noted for its wealth until the "Great Freeze" of 1895. The structure was purchased from the Methodist Conference in 1932 and preserved by the Fort King Home Demonstration Club. It has also been used as a public polling place since 1890.
