Bahamas Philately: Club Peace & Plenty

Club Peace & Plenty was located in George Town on Great ExumaExuma.

On 14 January 1958, Lawrence Lewis, heir to the Henry Flagler railroad and Standard Oil fortune, opened “Club Peace and Plenty” – a 32-room colonial style hotel. The old plantation cookhouse became the club bar and the former sponge warehouse/Minns’ family home was converted into the main lobby.

Stanley Benjamin and Charlie Pflueger re-opened Club Peace & Plenty on 12 September 1969 after purchasing the hotel from Lawrence Lewis.
