This place dates back to the 1920ies. It's on prime property in downtown Seguin and it's up for sale. So, we may see another part of small town USA die and be destroyed. Good things there are photographers in the world.
Here's more info
While the Guadalupe County Courthouse was designed by the relatively unknown architect L.M. Wirtz, the architect for Seguin's Aumont Hotel was the illustrious Atlee B. Ayers, who later designed courthouses for Refugio, Cameron, Jim Wells, and Kleburg Counties (Refugio, Brownsville, Alice and Kingsville, respectively). Mr. Ayers was also The State Architect for awhile and suggested that architects be licensed. Mr. Ayers held Texas Architects License No. 3.
The Aumont opened in November of 1916, costing $100,000. With the Park next door (costing $75,000) opening on January 9, 1917, the number of hotel rooms for a city the size of Seguin gave it a ratio of 22 rooms per 1000 (based on the 1920 Census). This was a higher average than St. Louis, Detroit or even New York City!

I am so fond of old hotels and chose to stay in them when I travel if they are reasonable in price. The Victoria Falls Hotel in Zimbabwe has been beautifully restored through out the years and stands as a great reminder of how grand it was to travel more than 100 years ago.
Victoria Falls is very close by and the spray from the Falls blends in with the landscape of the hotel! The hotel for me was a destination not just a hotel.
Stuffed wildlife heads ( I hate hunting) adorn some of the hall ways and old pictures of the hotel and guests are also part of the decor. In the garden is an old sign with an arrow pointing to Cairo and another one pointing to Cape Town. Going to Africa a hundred years ago was a huge journey.
The Vendome Hotel on Fort Street in Downtown Winnipeg has been in business for approx. 100 yrs.
On any day during the week you will find the downtown office crowd spilling in and out of Bleachers Sports Bar, where good food, drink, and chatter are the fare!!
I am off to Cornwall Ontario early this morning, will try to keep up with you folks throughout the week!!

The Springer House was a hotel built in 1893 near the public landing on the Ohio River. At one time the village had textile mills and a sizeable steamboat building company. The floods over the years have done a lot of damage. Note the umbrellas, not awnings, on the second floor.
Couldn't not try for a close up of the old hotel (now apartments) by the beach the other day. After all I can.
Better viewed large and thank you for your favourites. :O)
Overlooking Bridlington Harbour this building was once The Ozone Hotel, In 1939 it was acquired by the Royal Yorkshire Yacht Club as its Headquarters.
In the grounds of the old hotel. It's on the main road, but the garden is lovely and I wouldn't mind sitting out there for awhile.
Thank you for your favourites. :O)
8th June 2017:
I took a shot of this hotel on our way home from Lannion, but decided to go back and retake it for my photo of the day.
I didn't use it last year and I really like the architecture of the building. Plus that instead of letting it go to rack and ruin; when the hotel closed, they converted it into apartments.
I had to crop this as someone decided to abandon their car just in the left hand corner of the frame - Grr.

And here I was, under the impression that I'd run out of decent windows in Perros.
When I was in town on Monday, I happened to really look at the old hotel main entrance windows and they are lovely ones at that.
Although the light was horrible and the colours aren't as good as they should be, even with a bit of tweaking.

Karla again...This is part of the old hotel in Bodie. Hey, I grew up with a pool table at home, but it didn't look like this fabulous billiard table! Love the back wall. I'm quite sure it is tin like the ceilings of old. I took this through the window with a Nikon Coolpix P5100...THANKS TO ALL OF YOU FOR YOUR NICE COMMENTS ABOUT THE OTHER PICS!

This plant is a lovely one and grows like hot cakes in the old hotel garden that has been converted into flats.
