The story

Joseph Fenner Ange announced the Angebilt Hotel in June 1920, and the Rosalind Club building on the site was demolished to make room. Architect Murray S. King designed the 11-story building with 250 rooms. It opened on March 14, 1923.

The good times were short. About two months after opening, Ange announced bankruptcy and left. The hotel was sold at public auction the next year, reopened, and stayed open through the Great Depression. By the late 1960s urban decay had set in downtown. On February 27, 1983, a fire damaged the top two floors, and broken fire alarms delayed detection, so firefighters fought it for nearly three hours. The building was renovated into offices in the 1980s. In 1988 it became an annex of the Orange County Courthouse, a role it kept until the county moved into a new courthouse in 1998.

What's There Now

The building holds offices, with retail and dining on the ground floor.
