Floor and Decor

THE STORY

Reported Haunting

Although it looks like any other cookie-cutter shopping plaza building, this spot has an interesting “haunted” history.

Although it looks like any other cookie-cutter shopping plaza building, this spot has an interesting “haunted” history. This site was once the home to “Colonial Plaza,” one of Orlando’s earliest shopping malls. It fell into decline in the 1970s and was eventually razed in 1995 – all except the building that now houses “Floor and Decor.” The story from Thomas Cook in “Orlando’s Historic Haunts” is that the building was set for demolition, but when the foreman made one last pass through the area he swore he heard voices pleading with him not to destroy their home. Whether for that reason or something else, the building remained standing, and was repurposed instead.
