Historic, Abandoned Luther Hotel TO BE DEMOLISHED

Built in 1903, the Luther Hotel in Palacios, Texas is a historic seaside escape fronting the town's shoreline. This wood clad three story building dates back to the establishment of the settlement as a railroad and resort town in the early 1900s, and has been a fixture of the city’s waterscape ever since. In its lifetime, it hosted LBJ, Rita Hayworth, and Shirley Temple. But thanks to decades of neglect and a different vision from its prospective new owners, the entire building is likely about to be leveled. Abandoned Let’s explore the fascinating history of this seaside escape and examine the plan likely to get rid of it forever.
