1876 Heritage Inn

History

We are a contributory historic property in the recently approved Orange City Historic District. In the summer of 1875, Hugh and Sophia DeYarman from Eau Claire, Wisconsin, made arrangements to put up a hotel in [what would later be] Orange City. Hugh DeYarman had owned a hotel in Eau Claire. Sophia, a widower, first husband had also owned a hotel in Eau Claire, On the gently rolling terrain they found only scattered houses among orange groves. By November of 1875, a one room cottage had been built to house seven men working at the saw mill and building the hotel and Mrs. DeYarman who cooked for the lot of them. Later that building would become the hotel kitchen. A second building was constructed to provide sleeping quarters for employees. The hotel, known as the DeYarman House was built as a resort hotel and for many years the only one of its kind
