Description
This is a door to a back entrance to The Baker Hotel in Mineral Wells, Tx.
"Conceived during the confidence of the Roaring Twenties, the Baker Hotel opened in 1929 as an international resort destination. This “Grand Lady” of Mineral Wells, designed by prominent Texas architect Wyatt C. Hedrick, was built to take full advantage of the lure of the mineral waters present in Mineral Wells. The Baker reigned as one of the country’s most glamorous resorts for more than 25 years. Over time, its claim to fame only grew as Hollywood legends like Clark Gable, Judy Garland, and Lawrence Welk indulged in the hotel’s unique offerings. Unfortunately, the Baker succumbed to changing demographics, finally closing in 1972." ~Mineral Wells Chamber of Commerce
