Purchased cooperatively by followers of FATHER DIVINE for cash without mortgages
or debt of any kind providing quality accommodations for far less than half
the cost of nearby Hotels and was another totally integrated hotel that served
the international community for 57 years from 1950 to 2006.
The 1950 weekly rates were less than most other quality hotel daily rates. As FATHER DIVINE said in 1949 it was true in 1950:
". . . this hotel here where you could get reservations from
two and a half to three dollars and up per day; now you can get the same reservations
for fifty cents per day. . . . . you can get sleeping accommodations in the hotel
now for two and a half dollars per week. If you do not desire to give any more
you are not obliged to give more and are not required to give more; but if you
desire to give more and feel that you should give more, you are welcome to give
any amount above the two and a half dollars per week you choose to give. That
is up to you for there is no graft in the situation."
