LaSalle Hotel
Corner of Main Street and Bryan Street, Bryan
1929
The LaSalle Hotel is a seven story reinforced concrete building located in downtown
Bryan. It was designed by George Louis WALLING, an architect from Austin, in 1929.
When it was built, the La Salle functioned as a hotel. In 1959, it was purchased by
John COLUMBUS. He converted the second and third floors of the building for care of the
elderly in 1962. The LaSalle became the first licensed nursing home in Bryan. Later, more
floors were converted. Although the nursing home was forced to close in 1975, the
buildingcontinued,to function. as apartments. The building has been vacant since 1980.
The LaSalle Hotel, long one of the downtown landmarks of this century, was built
in 1927 and was first owned by ? Howell. The seven-story facility had 100 rooms and was
132
built ata cost ofabout$250,QOO, according toa report in the 31 Aug. 1927tagle. ,It
includedacoffee shop.and kitchen, tailor shop, barber shop, beauty shOp, convention hall
and two elevators.

This partJs from a two page ,article onthe opening of the LaSalle Hotel in Bryan,
Texas in April of 1928. [From the Bryan Daily Eagle - April 26, 1928, p.. 5-6]
.
"When Bryan was a village oflessthan 30 houses and Main Street a sandy road
whereT exasponies, ridden with the fury of Texas pioneers raced up and down it to the
tune ofthe 'six shooter.'
Whenth~~whistlersandspitters'ofthe littleterminusofthe H. and T. C. railroad sat
lazily in the sunshinebefore.thecountry stores with nothing much to doand less to inspire
them.
Even in that .. early day, there was an evident ... impetus, although . invisible and
unnoticed,. leading tow~rd the greater civilization. which today marks Bryan as one of the
modern and progressive cities.of Texas.
In ,the hurry and scurry of completing one of Bryan's greatest achievements of the
year, thebuildingqfthe splendid new LaSalle Hotel, South MainAvenue and W.est 27th
street, there hasnatyrally come to lighttheinteresting history of the plat ofground where
the new buikJingstands.

The city of Bryan is located on League 1 0 granted to Stephen F. AUSTIN by the
Republic of Texas, May 24, 18-,.?; in partition of the estate of Stephen F. AUSTIN, part of
League no. 10 was set apart to William JOel BRYAN, father of the late Guy M. BRYAN of
Houston and who for many years was vice president of the First National Bank of this city,
and grandfather of our fellow-townsman, Travis B. BRYAN, present cashier of the First
National Bank. William Joel BRYAN's wife was a niece of Stephen F. AUSTIN, and came
to Texas with AUSTIN's second colony,h:mdingat the mouth of the Brazos River in 1831.
April 9, 1860, William Joel BRYAN sold a part of the Stephen F. AUSTIN League
No. 10 to A. GROSBECK and W. R. BAKER. trustees for the H. and T. C. Railroad, and
upon this plat, the town of Bryan was located.
The corner lot, No.1, Block 256, fronting 40 feet on Main street, running back 100
feet to Bryan avenue, where the new LaSalle Hotel now stands was on January 20,1866
deeded by GROSBECK and BAKER with adjacent properties to WadeC. MOSELEY, a
prominent pioneer citizen of this section, and father of Misses Carrie and Addie MOSELEY,
Mrs. C. A. HARRIS and Mrs. M. a. LIPSCOMB of Bryan. Mr. MOSELEY died possessed
ofthe property. His estate was administered by his nephew, the late Jas. H. BATTE, father
of the late T. R. BATTE, andJ. LBATTEofBryan andDr. John BATTE of Hockley, all well
know to many people of Bryan.
The next transfer of the property was made when the late Judge John N.
HENDERSON, uncle of F. L. HENDERSON, Bryan's present city attorney, purchased it in
1871 frorTlthe estateofWadeC. MOSELEY. . Among those named in the records as
owners of this particular piece of property during the intervening years are; The Odd
Fellows Association, William MCINTOSH, and M. W. SHAW,
Volney CAVITT, the venerable father of Mrs. Robert ARMSTRONG of Bryan, and
one of the,~taunch citizens of the early days in Brazos county, bought the property in 1874
from M. W. McGRAW, "for 2,500 gold dollars".
The lot remained vacant until this time when P. R. SMITH contracted with Volney
CAVITT to build there on a business house.
The contract was dated in 1875 -- 53 years ago ,.- and the same house built at that
time was torn away by busy workmen only a few months ago to give place to our
handsome, seven story new LaSalle Hotel. During the process of erecting the building __
it being one of the first if not the first two-story brick business house in Bryan __ p. R.
SMITH, contractor, became heavily indebted to Volney CAVITT, owner: to Col. Harvey
MITCHEtLand his son-in-law, W. H. DEAN for brick burned in theirbrick;.kiln near town;
to J. D. WILSON and to many others. Later, by mutual agreement of all parties concerned,
it was agreed that Volney CAVITT should complete thebuildirlg, which he did.
The firstJloor of the building was rented as a business house, the second story
being given the, dignified name, The Academy of Music, and used as a play house, being
Bryan's first t~~atre and opera house. At one end ofthe long hall a stage was built and
equipped (with ~erosene lamps and foot-lights) andthe floor space provided with benches
for thespE;!ctators. On either side of the big hall were three open fireplaces, where blazing
log fires Qaveout needed heating in wintertime, each fireplace proving a community center
for friendly chat arid social enjoyment as the big circles formed around in the firelight glow.
Loeal talent, and there was much of it in superior excellence in those days, gave
"shows" at the Academy of Music, and many "home made" minstrel performances, the like
135
of which has never yet been equaled here, according to "old timers" who remembered
them,. were amongtheattraptionsthat oft,en crowded.the house.to.capacity.
The AO(ldemYQfMl.Isicwasconvertedinto.abaILroom,. mE;lrely by removing, the

The Academy of Music two-story building was purchased in ,1896 by A. B. CARR,

him, and with ,unshakenconfidenc~in Bryan and its future succeS)s. and prosperity, R. W.
HOWELL beganto plan for the building of a splendid, spacious, mod~rn hotel here to meet
the ever increasing demands of this growing city. The plat otground on south Main
avenue and vvest 27th street was the location chosen by Mr.. HOWELL for the erection of
the new hotel.

Bryan points with pardonable pride to her new LaSalle Hotel,just opening its doors
to the public. Handsome in structure and all furnishings, equipped throughout with the
latest mod~ls. in every detail for convenience and comfort, the LaSalle is a triumphant
gateway through which the City of Bryanshall pass into a new and greater life and growth,

in my own genealogy that I have located living. descendants in Australia over the past
several months. My great;.great-grandfather's eight sisters immigrated therein the 1800's
and he was the only one who came to America - another twist of fate that we often find in
doing this research. Overseas genealogy was one of my focus items for the yearand I am .
excited about the possibilities that this "new find" presents.
I would like to thank our Officers from thisyear who have done a great Jobworking
for'ourassociation. We,..are.allbusy, soth~ little timethat.we can spend promoting
genealogy in the Brazos Valley and in our own lives becomes extremely valuable. Our last
meeting this year will be one in whichourmembers will be solicited for their opinions on
the direction of the association, possible projects and cooperative efforts with other
organizations in College Station and/or Bryan. We will also be reviewing the structure of
our meetings and the communications to our membership. I realize that by the time this
Quarterly is received that meeting will have been completed, but I urge everyone to let our
new officers know their thoughts on these matters.
Continue to work on your own family, share your lessons learned and look to "adopt"
an area of local history that will grow our resources.
Again, thank$ and good ,luck.

out the transition from the oxcart to the automobile, from the spacious fireplace with its
oven and pots to the cook stove and gas ranges, from the stage coach to the trolley car,
from. the cross' roads store which served well its. purpose in its day andJime to the ..Iarge
department stores of the present time. InnotingaU these changes it was observed that
agriculture had, in may instances, plodded along inthe same old ruts madeinthe days of
the ox cart and tallow candle. Changes mean life, and without changes there will be
noticed but little progress. ,The old idea that "every tub muststandonits own bottom,"
must be given up, and in its place must come community effort which is of necessity 'co-
operative effort.
The speaker declared that no crop was safe, but also showed that the lack of
markets hindered diversification. Through co-operation effort the, farmersinlTlanysections
of the state had made the sweet potato a dependable cash crop, storing in curing houses
at times when the pricewas50cents andholdingtilUhe price was $1 ;OOto$1.50a bushel.
It was pointed out thatany of our patch crops could by co-operative effort, b~, madE3
cash crops.
Mr. POTEET called attention to the great loss coming to thefarmer inconsequence
of their inability to grade and classify their cotton which is usuaUysoldin the markets in
"hog round"lots,thuspenalizing the farmer who' raise good staple cotton and in a
m~asure, allowingJhe producer of half and half--acotton not tenderable on contract--a
premium"a practice that will ultimately result in serious injury to the market, permitting such
practice to be done: ....In. order to prevent this loss to the fanners, the government i,s
furnishing'tocornmunitiesco~operating, cotton grading expertswho willassis~the ,farmers
in arriving ata.knowledgeofth~ true worth.of theircotton,andatthe.sametime~nablethe
buyer to know whathe is<getting ,ifhe does not already know.
The communitywas urgedto plant only onevarietyof cotton ,andJtwaspointed out
that aspecialistatthecoUegewouldgladlygive assistance asto the best varieties for the
different sections of the country.
Six. communities..inSmith county have, already agreed to pJantonlyone variety of
cotton. Brazos<cquntyframers cquld well afford toadoptsucha plan by which the.county
could soon become a supply house tothe farmers of Texas for pure cottonseed, instead
of always being in themarkeHo buy from the otherfellow. Every advantage is ours, if we
will only lay our hands to it.

DUNN & DALY
One ofthe oldest, most substantial and successful business houses in the city of Bryan
is the wholesale and retail liquor house of DUNN & DALY, established here in 1875, and
which has been a leading enterprise from its foundation until the present time,and which
formerly did the mosVextensive wholesale business of any like establishment in this part
of Texas.
147
Capt. John DALY of this firm is a pioneer citizen of this city, having resided here
continuously since 1875, and for nearly four decades has been one of the leading, most
substantial and successful business menofthecity of Bryan. Fromtheearlydays, when
this city was a small village, havingl10thing but the most primitive wooden buildings on its
principal street,he has been an interested spectatorthroughout its varying vicissitudes and
successes to the crowning years of its greatest and permanent prosperity. From his
earliest connection with the city until today there has never been a citizen residing here
who had atall times the, abiding confidence in its ultimate success and future prestige as
did Captain DALY, and noman contributed more capable weHdirected labor and intelligent
effort to the advancement of the city than that characterizing his constant championship
ofaHpublic measuresfortheadvancement ofev~ry public<interest.ln the most essential
and prime necessity for the upbuilding of any modern city or country, the construction and
maintenance of good <thoroughfares and public roads, no citizen of this section has been
a more ardent supporter and unceasing advocate than has Captain DALY. Inhis extensive
travels the principal feature of his observations ,and study, has been the highways of
different countries, from a comparative standpoint of the advantages derived from them
by communities inwhich they exist, and from along and intelligent investigation of that
important subject has become convinced that substantial and permanent thoroughfares
bring the rural districts tothecity,andprove the permanentsalvation and success of any
country. Since coming to Bryan, Captain DAL Yhas reared a family of children, all of whom
have now about reached the age of maturity, and whose training has been such as, to
make them valuable citizens in any community where they may cast their lots. Captain
DALY began business without capital or advantageous ,financial backing, but his superior
natural abilities and efficient business methods have resulted in marked success and the
accumulation of a competency.
The firm carries .alarge stock of the finestimported and domestic wines, liquors, and
cigars in this part of the State, and has an extensive line of trade. which the long years of
its business careerhas attracted ,and which it still retains. The DALY building, in which this
business is located, was originally a one-story building, erected in 1879, to which in 1890,
a second story beramong its
leading public spirited men citizens like Captain DALY, possessing the ability and
disposition to render, invaluable aid in its splendid progress and growing prosperity.
