Worth Hotel, 1904

<< Back to Virtural Tour

History of the Worth Hotel


Built near the railroad tracks in Carrollton, Texas, this structure is typical of small town hotels. Catering to traveling salesmen (sometimes referred to as "drummers") as well as local boarders, the hotel was a popular dining spot for townspeople. The furnishings could have been ordered from a catalogue and shipped cheaply by rail. Originally this hotel had a wing at the back housing a large dining room and kitchen. Guests would sometimes have to sleep two-to-a-bed whenever the hotel was full.

Announce the opening of their new Best Bedroom


This finely furnished single room, located in the center of the second floor guest area has it's own access to the Hotel's front balcony, and is suitable for couples or ladies traveling for pleasure. All enjoyable for $6.00 per night, including breakfast. Inquiry at the hotel desk for availability.

-Miss Mary and Miss Eula Moles
