%b%crThe Rogers Hotel %b%c*: Hollywood Famous
  • Tip Rating:
  • This hotel was built in 1912 and named after the founder of Waxahachie (Emory W Rogers). There was once two hotels on this site but both were destroyed by fires. The wet tower roof has a roof garden restaurant with a view of the city. The East tower roof was designed for sleeping tents for those preferring the outdoor environment. In the basement was a billiard room, barber shop and a swimming pool which was supplied from a nearby hot well.
    .

    Unique Qualities: It has been said some of the hotel guests were Bonnie & Clyde and Frank Sinatra. Also several major league baseball teams were headquartered here for spring training. The Detroit Tigers in 1916-17, the Cincinnati Reds in 1919, the Chicago White Sox in 1921 and the Buffalo Bisons in 1948-49. The building has been used as a bank in the movie 'Places in the Heart'. After being closed for 50 years, the hotel was renovated and reconfigured. It looks like the renovating is still continuing with a gift shop and meeting rooms to be added. The site is part of the Old Chisholm Trail. Emory's restaurant is open.

    Rosemary Mansion
  • Tip Rating:
  • This wonderfully restored 1916 mansion is a Bed & Breakfast . It was once the home of a Texas oilman, P A Chapman. It has been listed on both the local and National Historic Registers. The front of the property on a busy main street hides what really lies behind. There are gardens with ponds, waterfalls and fountains. There are also beautiful arbors, private sunbathing deck and a pergola. All the rooms are beautifully furnished with antiques and artwork.

     The photo is not of 233 Patrick. The photo is a house on Main St. just around the corner notable for the extremely tall front door. The Queen Anne Victorian at 233 Patrick is a full three stories with a rounded tower on the left corner. 03/15/2007

     Loved the building with the pillars, reminds me of 'Gone with the Wind'. As for the National Historic Register can I get my extension on that - lol

     Great, old architecture there, indeed. Haha, I have to see Bonnie and Clyde again to find Waxahachie there. A lot of interesting information and beautiful pictures.
