Swampy’s Florida Historic Photos: The Cocoanut Grove Hotel, Lake Worth, 1886.
It’s 1886 and here’s the Coconut Grove Hotel in Lake Worth. It’s Lake Worth’s first resort hotel. The end came as Flagler and his railroad and his opulent Royal Poinciana Hotel was built nearby. It became more of an apartment house before burning to the ground in 1893.
