title: [The First Crazy Hotel]
date: 1913
language: English
description: This picture shows the front of the first Crazy Hotel, which was
 destroyed by fire March 15, 1925.  Built in two stages and joined together,
 the first (back) section was built in 1912, and the second (front) section was
 completed in 1914.  
     A handwritten note on back of photograph states,
 "Crazy Hotel 1913.  Front of Hotel Facing South Mineral Wells, Tx."   This
 picture is included on page 15 of A.F. Weaver's book "TIME WAS...", and was
 probably taken before the second section of the hotel opened for
 business.
  The back of Crazy Flats (the second Crazy Water Drinking
 Pavilion) can be seen to the right, north of and behind the hotel in this
 picture.
