Description: A color photograph of a farmhouse in Palo Pinto County, exact date is unknown. This was found with photos taken in Thurber, so it may be near there. It shows the lush colors of late spring or early summer. Note the red soil which is typical of the county.

Description: A postcard of the Crazy Hotel from about 1930. The "crazy" burned in 1925, and this is a view of the rebuilt hotel which opened in 1927. It was considered state of the art and built with solid masonry interior walls to make it fire proof. The facility is currently (2008) used as a retirement home.

Description: On page 19 Of "TIME WAS IN MINERAL wELLS," 1974, by A. F. Weaver, is this picture of Mr. D. W. Griffith, famous movie producer and director, on the roof of the new Crazy Hotel in 1929. The new Crazy Hotel opened in 1927, replacing the First Crazy Hotel which burned in 1925. Mr. Griffith, who produced silent movies including the "Keystone Kops" comedies, and the classic film, "Birth of a Nation" was a guest at the Crazy Hotel while visiting here in 1929. A commemorative postage stamp was issued in his honor May 27, 1975. From the roof of the hotel Mr. Griffith was impressed by the "WELCOME" sign on East Mountain (the world's largest non-commercial, electric lighted, sign at the time.) When he returned to California, he developed the "HOLLYWOOD HILLS" addition, with other partners, and erected what is probably the most recognizable landmark in America - the HOLLYWOOD sign in Los Angeles. Both signs have survived similar difficult times in their histories. The Mineral Wells' WELCOME sign was the inspiration for Los Angeles' internationally known HOLLYWOOD sign.

Description: The caption on page 118 of "TIME WAS in Mineral Wells", first edition, 1974, by A. F. Weaver, states that the "SLLEW La RENIM Club was 'Mineral Wells' spelled backwards. The members pose in front of the Old Post Office in 1913: Anna Mae Guinn, Ernestine Pollard, May Belle Smith, Ann Locke Galbraith, Ruby Andrews, Mattie Withers." The ladies of the time used parasols to shade them from the sun. (There are seven ladies in the picture, but only six are identified. From the notes on the back of the picture, Mary Lee Hayes is believed to be the third lady in line in the picture.) The Mineral Wells Sanitarium, originally known as The Exchange Hotel, is shown in the upper left of the picture.
