J.W. Owen had this hotel building constructed about 1880. Stonemasons J.K. Finlay and John Goodman built the original two-story structure, which was a stagecoach stop. The third floor was added during the ownership of Col. W.A.H. Miller, who bought it in 1883. An annex was later added to the west side of the building, and an addition on the north served as dining hall and kitchen. There, family-style meals were served until the business, then called the Colonial Inn, closed in the 1950s. The additions were removed in 1977. Recorded Texas Historic Landmark - 1980
