Note: The first wing of the Ormond Hotel (originally called the Hotel Ormond) was built by John Anderson and Joseph Downing Price; it opened January 1, 1888. Price and Anderson sold it to Henry M. Flagler circa 1890; he added more rooms to it until it was the largest wooden structure in the United States. The building was located at 15 E. Granada Blvd. It was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on November 24, 1980. Six years later, the hotel was closed down as a fire hazard; it was demolished in 1992 and replaced by a condominium. Postmark: Mar 29, 1909.
