Wellsbuilt Hotel

Dr. William Wells constructed this hotel in 1926, now an African American History museum. It provided lodging to African Americans during segregation when hotel rooms were not available to them in other areas. Many famous black entertainers and athletes stayed at the Wellsbuilt. The Wells’ Built Museum opened in June 2009. The museum houses memorabilia of Orlando’s African-American community and contains displays on the Civil Rights movement in Orlando.
