waterfront paradise. The historic district of Pass-A-Grille has a certain charm that you will find nowhere else. A landmark known around the world, is the famous Don CeSar Resort. In 1928, Thomas Rowe built the Don CeSar for 1.5 million dollars. It has 275 rooms and is ten stories tall. Opening night, the Don CeSar hosted over 1500 guest who paid $ 2.50 each to enjoy dinner and dancing. The depression hit the Don CeSar hard and in the early 40's, the government bought the hotel for $ 440,000 and turned it into a hospital and rehabilitation center. In 1944 it became one of the areas first hurricane shelters for residents and pets. In 1945, the Office of Veterans Administration moved into the Don. In 1969, facing 3 million dollars in renovations, the government left the facility and the County was prepared to tear it down and place a park in its place. But Mr. Bowman learned about the Don CeSar and in 1972 purchased the building. After major renovations, the Don CeSar was reopened in 1973 as a wonderful beachfront resort. Today, it is only one of eight hotels in Florida that is listed on the National Trust for Historical Preservation, Historic Hotels of America.
