Swampy’s Florida Ads – Orlando – Wigwam Village Motel -1952
This is certainly one of the most legendary motel/hotels in Central Florida. Still remembered today by the locals, it is still missed when nearly 50 years ago the set of motel tee pee rooms was demolished to make way for the East/West Expressway.
If you don’t know, each “tee pee” was a full motel room. Inside it looked just like a normal motel/hotel room. Otherwise there was a feel of being in a tee pee village of about 12 units.
This ad is from ‘Orlando Attraction’ magazine from February 1952. It is full of terrific ads and many will be shown here in the next few weeks. The magazine is part of the Swampy’s Florida library.
