Editing DeFuniak Springs, Florida (section)

=== Chautauqua ===
DeFuniak Springs was established as a final-destination resort. The developers enlisted the cooperation and aid of the [[Chautauqua]] Movement. The [[Chautauqua Hall of Brotherhood]], an auditorium seating 4,000, was constructed on [[Lake DeFuniak]] in the center of town. Seminars, classes, and the like were held in the Hall of Brotherhood building for people on vacation.

The auditorium of the building was severely damaged by [[Hurricane Eloise]] in 1975 and razed. In 2003, the Chautauqua Hall of Brotherhood Foundation, Inc., a charitable foundation, started a capital campaign to restore the historic building.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.chobf.org/ |title=Chautauqua Hall of Brotherhood Foundation Inc. |access-date=2019-07-20 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20051201032528/http://www.chobf.org/ |archive-date=2005-12-01 |url-status=dead }}</ref> The westerly portion of the building facing Circle Drive was still in use at that time.
