Worth Hotel, 1904 

 

Built near the railroad tracks in Carrollton, Texas, this structure is typical of small town hotels. Catering to traveling salesmen (sometimes referred to as "drummers") as well as local boarders, the hotel was a popular dining spot for townspeople. The furnishings could have been ordered from a catalogue and shipped cheaply by rail. Originally this hotel had a wing at the back housing a large dining room and kitchen. Guests would sometimes have to sleep two-to-a-bed whenever the hotel was full.
