Sam Houston Hotel - Houston, Texas - U.S. National Register of Historic Places on Waymarking.com

If you can make out the ‘ghost sign’ on the side of the building, from 1927, you’ll see it advertising “Conditioned Air. Room Rates $2.00 to $2.50.” Restored as the Alden Hotel, the room rates are a bit higher now, but it’s nice to know that the rooms still sport ‘conditioned air.’
