Adora Inn is both historic and modern.
After a long search, Arthur and John found the right home for Adora Inn in the charming, historic central Florida town of Mount Dora. The house was built in 1916 by Monroe Patterson, an Ohio native and early developer of Mount Dora, as a duplex for rent. When he passed, the house was bequeathed to Louisa Hague who lived with her sister in the house into the 1960’s. Arthur and John. had the house designated Historic and named it the Patterson Hague House in honor of the builder and longest occupant. The new owners preserved the historic elements of the building but gave it a modern spin. Arthur placed his original art in the guest rooms. John made sure all the furnishing were comfortable. Together, they created a stylish and comfortable retreat.
