Iron Horse Inn

Description

Circa 1907. At Ironhorse Inn, history meets hospitality, a short stroll away from the shops and restaurants in the “Best Small Town in Texas.” A 400-year-old oak tree stands sentry over the carefully renovated and restored bed and breakfast that celebrated a grand reopening in 2013. Surrounded by a fence from the late 1800s, the inn boasts original maple and pine floors, and many of the original windows. Two suites and four guest rooms have private bathrooms and include afternoon snacks and a full gourmet breakfast each morning. Natural light fills the sunroom separated from the bedroom by lavish curtains in Josephine’s Suite. A royal purple door leads to Philippa’s Balcony with a king-size bed and private balcony over the front porch. Anchored by the Hood County Courthouse, the precisely preserved town square has the honor of being the first in Texas to be listed on the National Register of Historic Places.Location: City/Urban and Waterfront.

Historic Interest The Cogdell house was designed by Mr. Cogdell's friend, Wyatt Hedrick. Wyatt was a famous architect and the Will Rogers Coliseum, the Texas Hotel and the Shamrock Hilton in Houston are just a few of the designs to his credits. It took three master cabinetmakers to build this fifteen room home. The home has its original maple floors downstairs, along with the original loblolly pine floors upstairs. The home has most of its original windows. Built in the house were two bathrooms with custom made 7 foot claw foot tubs which are still on the property in the cottages. Central heat from a coal furnace was part of the original plans for the Cogdell house, and it was piped up from the limestone basement. The 1885 fence that surrounds most of the property is still present, as is the original storm cellar. Historic Awards: City Historical Site (Granted) and Local Register (Granted). Historic Memberships: City Historical Society and Local Historical Society.
