Thanks to Clara.MOUNCE, Librarian, for the photographs.] 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. . 133 This partJs from a two page ,article onthe opening of the LaSalle Hotel in Bryan, Texas in April of 1928.

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.

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.

Mrs. COOK and her assistants are very busy preparing thingsfor the Red Cross bazaar of the twenty-ninth. Even the minds of the small school children are becoming imbued with the war spirit. Nothing to their way of thinking can be quite so degrading as to the called "Kaiser Bill" or "German Spy," and when one applies it to another he usually finds there is no need for further argument.

The Steep HolI()wfa~mersc.lub rendered .,aninteresting program Saturday night to an .appreciative audience.. There were songs, quartettes, recitations by. school children, and an address by Mr.igETEET of the College. .,.Mr. PETEET prefaced his lecture by congratulating the communityuP~.mhavingsuchafine audience on so inclement a night and saying that the reason for; itmustliein~hefactthattheywere, finding something good in their farmer's club. I nstead of speaking on "business organization for farmers" as had been announced, the subject waschangedtothatof "co-operation." A retrospective view of primitive days 142 when co-operation was not so essential. was given was given, and then there was, pointed 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. November 29, 1917 SteepHollow,Nov.27-~lt seems that.every farmer spends several hours a day drawing water forthe stock.

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.
