History of Miss Molly's

The location of Miss Molly’s Hotel is in the Fort Worth Stockyards right above the Star Café. The Fort Worth Stockyards, established in the nineteenth century, where several wild longhorns grazed the land became part of Fort Worth’s livestock industry (Belanger).  Businesses started popping up through the landscape when the railroad ran across the newly established Stockyards (Belanger). Miss Molly’s Hotel, established 1910, originally was a boarding house called the Palace Rooms; it went through the prohibition renamed as The Oasis (Bailey). Miss Molly’s Hotel went through the 1940s as a bordello named the Gayatte Hotel (Bailey). According to Henry Bailey, an independent paranormal investigator, has visited Miss Molly’s Hotel and conducted a paranormal investigation on the hotel. I consider Mr. Bailey famous, because he has investigated the Thornwood Castle that appears in Stephen King’s Rose Red, he has been part of several paranormal groups, and still remains an honored paranormal advisor (Bailey). As of today Miss Molly’s Hotel runs as a bed and breakfast and serves as a romantic getaway for couples that want to visit this historic area of Fort Worth.
