Description

Ellis Hotel at 3rd and Throckmorton, Fort Worth, ca. 1887-1891 [built 1887, burned 1891]. In a clipping published in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram on February 2, 1947, the description of the photo reads: "Back in the 1880s, the Ellis Hotel, which stood at Throckmorton, 2nd and 3rd, was one of the state's finest with it steam heat, freight and passenger elevators. Fire destroyed it in 1880. Mrs. Stephen J. Hay Sr. of Dallas found this picture of the stone main building among her souvenirs... In Mrs. Hay's picture, one of Fort Worth's first street cars, a one-mule-power affair, is shown on 3rd Street side of the hotel in front of main entrance. Standing on the veranda roof near the Throckmorton Street side is James F. Ellis [owner]. At the extreme right on the veranda is his daughter, Mrs. Fannie E. DuBose, widow of L. H. Dubose, and to her left is Will J. Ellis. James M. Ellis is on his horse at the side of the building."
