Seminole Cafe and Hotel

Seminole Cafe and Hotel is an historic building located at 55 South Flagler Avenue in Homestead, Florida, United States. A Mission Revival-style and wood-frame vernacular building with one- and two-story sections, the structure was originally built in Miami in the early 1910s and served as a theater

. After the dismantling of the building in 1916, railcars were used to transport the building to Homestead. During the 1920s, the Seminole Cafe and Hotel opened, while the former was converted to an apartment unit in 1951. The latter was renamed the Landmark Hotel in 1965. Hurricane Andrew in 1992 blew off most of the hotel's roof and part of the north wall. However, significant restoration work occurred due to a $75,000 grant approved by the Florida Legislature. On July 10, 2008, the Seminole Cafe and Hotel was added to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places.
