The Miller family first lived in this hotel and had an intention to create a new town in the vicinity, to be called Venoa. After realizing that the immediate surrounding lands could ill support agricultural he, along with the Dickman's, negotiated with Captain C. H. Davis of Wimauma to purchase 12,000 acres along the Little Manatee River which was platted into the town of Ruskin. Ruskin Hall, sometimes referred to as Ruskin Lodge, burned to the ground in 1918.
