Established 1907
Every state contains certain defining lodgings – hotels and resorts that nestle into the landscape as easily as a covey of quail in tall grass. These special places – and there are just a few of them – reflect the character of their state, region, or town. Certainly, the Stockyards Hotel in Fort Worth, Texas is one of these special places offering superb accommodations and the chance to escape into a Texas kind of world.
Timeline
1904 Property Purchased
In 1904 Colonel T.M. Thannisch, one of North Fort Worth’s early developers and entrepreneurs purchased the property situated on the corner of North Main and East Exchange. Colonel Thannisch built a two-story frame building with balconies on the west and south sides of the structure. The building was the largest individually owned and commercial structure to be erected on Exchange Avenue, housing the Stock Yards Club Saloon and Billiard parlor in the western portion, with furnished rooms for rent located on the second floor.
1907 New Construction
In December 1906, Colonel Thannisch began constructing a three-story brick building on the far eastern portion of his property to house a hotel, abutting the east wall of his wooden structure. An assortment of businesses including a barbershop, confectionary shop, real estate, and insurance firms, and a restaurant were located in the eastern portion of the building.
Work was completed in March 1907. Housed in the new building were a hotel, restaurant, physician’s offices, a contractor, and the Club Bar. The lobby and offices were on the street level, with rooms on the second and third floors. The original wooden structure to the west was retained as a commercial property until 1913.
1913 EXPANSION
In 1913, the wood-frame building was demolished by Colonel Thannisch and replaced with a new brick addition. The new three-story addition with a basem*nt was attached to the existing three-story brick building and was completed before the latter part of 1913. The addition was constructed to appear uniform with the existing structure. New accommodations were added to the hotel, including suite rooms with private baths facing East Exchange. Other hotel amenities included two or more community baths on each floor, ceiling fans in every room, and heat in the winter provided by steam from the boilers in the basem*nt.
1982 Restoration
In 1982 Marshall Young and Tom Yater acquired the building with a dream for the hotel not unlike Colonel Thannisch’s 75 years earlier. Young and Yater spent two years engineering a complete restoration of the building.
In April 1984 Young and Yater reopened as the Stockyards Hotel in a style befitting the former glory days of the Texas Cattlemen.
