Glen Rose Hotel, 210 SW Barnard Street

The Glen Rose Hotel came into existence during the peak of U.S. hotel building during the 1920s, and Glen Rose offered a promising location for such a business. The town attracted thousands of pleasure seekers to its water parks and health seekers to its sanitaria. Many of them required places to stay overnight. C.R. Berry built the hotel in the popular Spanish Colonial Revival style, using fashionable cream-colored brick, limestone trim, and faux tile at the cornice. The hostelry offered standard rooms, suites, and a dining room serving tasty meals. During the operation of the Snyder Sanitarium next-door, the hotel provided lodging for patients who could  not get accommodations at the health facility. The hostelry also offered rental space for traveling dentists, salesmen, and photographers, not to mention having a hairdressing salon. The hotel has continued offering accommodations to travelers since it opened in 1928.
