A 1985 Texas Historical Marker just inside the entrance notes that the hotel is a Recorded Texas Historical Landmark, and it provides some background:
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 2-story structure features decorative brickwork and a porch with brick archways.
