- Famous Mineral Water Advertisement
- This photograph illustrates the title page of a small (3 3/8 inches by 6 1/8 inches) pamphlet of 8 leaves. It contains letters from satisfied users of "Pronto-Lax", a product of the water that made Mineral Wells Famous. Such anecdotal evidence was all that Mineral Wells was capable of producing when the Federal Drug Administration (F.D.A.)demanded scientific evidence of the efficacy of the mineral waters in 1931. The back of the final leaf bears the legend: Mrs. Dola Blaffer 3412 Knight St. Phone 5-6602 Dallas, Tex. texashistory.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metapth60961/

- Colonial Hotel
- The Colonial Hotel at 115 W. Hubbard was built by rancher J.T. Holt for his second wife who would not live in the country. The hotel was traded to Agnew and Bessie Damron for a ranch about 1917, and its name was changed to The Damron Hotel. The popular hotel burned down December 22, 1975 along with several other adjoining businesses. texashistory.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metapth60882/
- [The Foster Hotel]
- This picture depicts a hotel--done in Queen Anne style (Spindle-work subtype). Please note the unusual two-story wraparound porch, also with spindle-work. It appears to have been excerpted from a fragment of advertising copy that gives the name of the building as "The Foster", and extols the owner (Mr. T.J. Foster) as "...an old hotel hand of large acquaintance and wide experience, who has studied the wants and needs of his guests[,] and loses no opportunity of making them comfortable." Polk's Directory for 1910 lists the proprietor of the hotel as F. J. Kowalski. A hand-written note on the edge of the negative (not visible in the picture) states: "NW 1st Ave 6th Street." This address is only approximate. A more accurate address is given in the photograph "The Foster Hotel", also to be found in this collection. Although it is not certain, the clothes of the people shown standing around the hotel strongly suggest that the picture was taken early in the twentieth century. A barely-legible colophon, appearing to read "FONE" appears in the lower left-hand corner. texashistory.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metapth60881/

- The Crazy Well Water Company
- This picture shows a photograph of two pages from a water-bottle-shaped brochure about Mineral Wells.

The brochure notes that number four water is purgative, and should be used in moderation, but at frequent intervals. texashistory.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metapth60936/
- Milling's Sanitarium

- An automobile--presumably of the late 1930's--is parked by a building in the process of being built. Workmen may be seen at the site. A legend under the original reads: "Buildings seem to literally spring from the earth when the construction of the then Camp Wolters began in November, 1940. The camp was completed in less than four months and became the nation's largest infantry Replacement Training Center. Construction cost was approximately $14,200,000." texashistory.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metapth60911/

It was later bought by L.E. Seaman. In 1975, it became the location of Widlake Motor Supply. The picture appears on page 126 of A. F.
