The Baker Hotel-Mineral Wells (Part 1)


Located at 200 E. Hubbard Street in Mineral Wells, the Baker Hotel has fascinated me for years.  I passed it driving out to the summer camp I went to on Possum Kingdom and always wondered about it.  I made the trip up there because there's been talk for several years of a restoration, but there were absolutely no signs that was going anywhere.  I'm going to divide the posts into several parts and insert historic photos intermittently.  This first post will be the front exterior.  Enjoy!










And in its hey day:
