"Crazy Hotel Opens"
Date: 1994-03-10
Creator: unknown
Description: CRAZY HOTEL OPENS: Program Presented by A.F. Weaver to the Mineral Wells Heritage Association March 10, 1994. [This is the first of ten pages, stapled at upper left-hand corner.] The text was probably computer-generated in 13-point sans-serif script and it is likely that Mr. Weaver began his program with a contemporary newspaper account of the gala opening of the re-built hotel. Certainly the opening of the significant hotel was a red letter day in the history of Mineral Wells. Photocopies of a souvenir menu was laminated on the back of Mr. Weaver's prepared program.]

History of Elmhurst Park
Date: c. 1960
Creator: unknown
Description: Elmhurst Park, on Pollard Creek about three miles south of Mineral Wells, closed about the time the trolley from town to the Park ceased operating in 1913. A housing project opened there about the time the nation began mobilizing for World War II and construction of Camp Wolters began. (At one time, Camp Wolters was the largest Infantry Replacement Training Center in the nation; nearly 500,000 soldiers passed through the Mineral Wells railway depot during the war.) Following the war, the site was returned to the City of Mineral Wells and is now the site of the City Treatment plant.
