Marker Text:
Built in 1927 to provide lodging for railroad travelers, salesmen, and ranchers who came to town on business, the Hotel Turkey also served as a symbol of the growth business leaders hoped would characterize the young railroad settlement. The hotel opened with 20 guest rooms and extra rooms for community functions. The two-story structure features decorative brickwork and a porch with brick archways. Recorded Texas Historic Landmark - 1985
