Aloma ClubHouse

On April 14, 1939, the City of Winter Park sold the Aloma Club to Rollins College for a sum of $3,000. Formerly located on the east side of Lakemont Avenue, Aloma Club served as a golf club house for the Winter Park community. Rollins College bought the building to provide sufficient room for the expansion of the Thomas R. Barker Museum of Natural Science. The ground floor was designed as a library and members’ reading area, and the largest room served for public exhibits. The Museum was eventually demolished to make room for the construction of the Winter Park Hospital.
