The White Eagle Hotel Torn Down – A Look Back

In 1926, a new landmark was added to Korona.

The White Eagle Hotel was erected by the late Barney Trojanowski. He had quarters for his family and rooms for tourists on the upper floor. On the ground floor was a grocery, feed store and a real estate office. Later the entire first floor was turned into a beer garden with a large dance floor.

Here, for many years, dances were held Wednesdays and Saturdays. Polish people from all over Florida gathered here to celebrate all the major holidays. Church suppers, club dances made this the gathering center of the area.

This building was torn down in 1959 to make room for four-laning U.S. 1.

The present White Eagle Bar in Korona is very near where the original White Eagle was located.
