Wigwam Village No. 4, Orlando, Florida

Wigwam Village No. 4, Orlando, Florida
"Wigwam Village No. 4, Orlando, Florida. On the Orange Blossom Trail. U.S. No. 441 and U.S. No. 17; U.S. No. 92. AAA."

Printed on the back of this linen postcard: "The Wigwam Village. Orlando's 'largest and finest motel!' Located inside city limits only a few blocks from theatre and shopping district. Thirty-one modern teepees with accommodations for parties of 1, 2, 3, or 4 people. Modern grille, gift shop, and auto service on the grounds."

Wikipedia reports that Wigwam Village No. 4 was built in 1948 and razed in 1974. A Vacation Lodge motel now occupies the site where teepees once stood.

For views of a Wigwam Village located in Cave City, Kentucky, see Teepees and Trading Post at Wigwam Village Motel No. 2 and Braves Restroom at Wigwam Village Motel No. 2:
