The Eastland Hotel was built as a Rooming House in 1918 during the
“Oil Boom” in North Central Texas. The structure housed The Princess
Theater and Stanley Café’ on the 1st floor and The Stanley Hotel on
the 2nd & 3rd floors.
In 1919, The Connellee Theater (now the Majestic Theater) was built
on the South Side of the structure. The common wall has necessitated
the need for a vent shaft, which adds an interesting architectural
design. Prior to air conditioning, air circulation was accomplished
by opening windows throughout (little privacy).
Renovation and the adaptive reuse of the building began in 1995. The
small Rooming House rooms were combined to allow for
spacious rooms and private baths. Although modern
amenities, plumbing, and wiring were incorporated into the
structure, you’ll find that the restored tin ceilings and vintage
doors give The Eastland Hotel a charm and comfort not envisioned
by her designers.
