[Crazy Hotel in Winter]
Description:

The Crazy Water Hotel. It appears that season is winter, as snow is on the ground. The truck in the photo appears to be before 1939.
Mineral Wells was a very popular convention city, and the bunting draped section of the hotel in the foreground probably indicates preparartion for a coming convention.
