The New River Inn is a historic site in Fort Lauderdale, Florida located at 231 Southwest 2nd Avenue. The New River Inn was constructed in 1905 by the area's first contractor Edwin T. King. It was commissioned by Nathan Philemon Bryan, a Jacksonville native and US senator. The building was constructed of hollow concrete blocks and sand dredged from the nearby beach setting the standard for modern construction in the region. It included sewer and irrigation systems, running ice water and was lit with carbide lamps. The 24-room building served as a hotel from 1905-1955. It was listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places in 1972. The Inn now serves as a museum showcasing Florida's past and pioneer life. The museum is owned and operated by the Fort Lauderdale Historical Society. Permanent exhibits include: "Panorama of the Past" detailing the entire history of the Greater Fort Lauderdale area; a hotel room which has been decorated to appear as a typical hotel room of 1908; and the historic King-Cromartie House built in 1907. The New River Inn is located at 231 SW 2nd Avenue and is open for tours Tuesday through Sunday from Noon to 4 p.m. Admission is $10 and includes a self-guided tour of the New River Inn and a docent-led tour of the 1907 King-Cromartie House and the 1899 Replica School House. Docent-led tours begin at 1 p.m., 2 p.m. and 3 p.m. 〔(【引用サイトリンク】website=http://www.fortlauderdalehistoricalsociety.org/events/ticket-sales/ )〕 ==References and external links== * (Broward County listings ) at (National Register of Historic Places ) * (Florida's Office of Cultural and Historical Programs ) * * (Broward County listings ) * * (Old Fort Lauderdale Museum of History ) *(Fort Lauderdale Historical Society ) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「New River Inn」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
