Interior of the Hacienda Hotel. This photograph is taken from a post card. The photo also appeared in the
New Port Richey Press of May 2, 1930, with
this caption: “The foyer of the Hacienda Hotel, which was the scene of many brilliant social affairs during the season
just closed. Here were assembled at various times some of the most famous living celebrities of stage and screen,
including Thomas Meighan, Leon Errol, Madeline Cameron, Frances Ring, Flora Zabelle, and numerous others as well
as such noted writers as Bob Davis, George Ade, Ring Lardner, Hal W. Lanigan and others. Gay parties from St. Petersburg,
Tampa, Clearwater and other cities motored here to enjoy the delightful atmosphere of this ‘Bit of Old Spain Amid the Palms.’”
