Settles Hotel
Big Spring, Texas
Listed 04/18/2013
Reference Number: 13000207
Local ranchers W.R. and Lillian Settles constructed the Settles Hotel in 1930 after the discovery of oil on their ranch made them very wealthy. The hotel's construction coincided with the height of the Permian Basin oil boom and the explosive growth in Big Spring's population and economy. Prominent West Texas architect David S. Castle designed the three-part vertical block building in the popular Art Deco style. At the time of its construction, the hotel was the most dominant building in the small downtown. It retains that characteristic to this day. The building is a cultural landmark for the town Big Spring and is visible for miles. The hotel maintains a good degree of integrity and, despite standing vacant for over two decades, is in the midst of a rebirth. The restoration efforts, which began in 2007, should be complete by March 2012. The Settles Hotel is nominated to the National Register of Historic Places under Criterion A for Commerce as a historically important building to the growth and commercial development of Big Spring and under Criterion C for Architecture as a good example of a three-part vertical block Art Deco building by a prominent architect, both at the local level of significance. Because the hotel operated continuously as such until the 1980s, the period of significance extends to 1962, the cutoff for the fifty year eligibility threshold.

The Downtown Webb City Historic District is an irregular shaped commercial area located in Webb City; Jasper County, Missouri and is locally significant under National Register Criterion A in the area of Commerce, and under National Register Criterion C in the area of Architecture. A survey of Webb City (1996) and a site and recommendations report (2009) identified the district as one of the most intact grouping of commercial buildings in the community. The district served as the primary commercial business district in the community from the mid-nineteenth century to the current date. The buildings retain most of their original design features, and comprise of a visually cohesive grouping of commercial buildings and one residential dwelling constructed from 1883 to 1965. The development ofthis district in the city represents a local commercial development trend, and depicts the vital interplay between the mining industry and commerce in Web City's development. The predominantly brick-clad, one- to threestory buildings tend to be two-part commercial block but design details and the few high-style buildings within the district were visibly influenced by the common styles of the mid-nineteenth to early-twentieth centuries. Stylistic influences within the Downtown Webb City Historic District include Italianate, Italianate Revival, Romanesque, Art Deco, Streamline Moderne and Queen Anne. In addition, buildings are notable for their cast iron storefront. The period of significance extends from 1883 through 1965, representing the period in which the district was developed.

I don't know what this little building on Commerce is named, but I really like the building. I hope someone moves in while it's still in good shape.

At the U.S. Trade Show last week, together with Ambassador Haas, they announced the opening of a new Commercial Service office at the U.S. Embassy.

On the northwest face of the monument the allegorical figures of " Commerce" and "Fame" flank the inscription, "Erected in the memory of Captain Richard Somers, Lieutenants James Caldwell, James Decatur, Henry Wadsworth, Joseph Israel and John Dorsey who fell in the different attacks that were made on the city of Tripoli in the Year of our Lord 1804 and in the 28 year of the independence of the United States."
