The Cassadaga Hotel, a Mediterranean Revival style building built in 1927, replaced the original hotel that burned in 1926. This two-story building is mentioned in the guide.
From the WPA Guide to Florida, page 358:
“Left from Orange City 4 m. on a paved road to Camp Cassadaga, conducted by the Cassadaga Spiritualist Association, which was founded by George B. Colby in 1893. The first meeting of the association was held here in that year. Within a fenced area of 25 acres, deeded to the association by the founder, are a stucco auditorium seating 2,000, a frame two-story hotel, apartment houses, many one and two-story cottages on shaded lanes along the shores of small lakes. The post office, general store, and other residences lie outside the enclosed tract.”
The hotel is still in operation and is listed as a National Register of Historic Places contributing building as part of the Southern Cassadaga Spiritualist Camp Historic District.
