Mobberly Hotel
The Mobberly Hotel was located on the corner of Mobberly Ave. and Pacific Street, at the Junction in Longview, Texas. It opened for business in 1884 and was owned by James M. "Jim" & Samuel "Sam" Haynes Mobberly, Sr. The hotel was the center of social gatherings for the entire area and was known as the best hotel between New Orleans and El Paso. Furnishings for all the rooms were expensive and elaborate, and crystal chandeliers were used throughout the rooms and every room had a fireplace. The Lacey Telephone Company serviced the Mobberly from 1897-1910. The Mobberly Hotel remained in the Mobberly family until the 1940s when it was sold to a businessman from Shreveport, Louisiana.
During the early 1960s, the Mobberly Hotel was being renovated by Patrick Ferchill, who collected old cars and had plans to showcase a car in the hotel lobby once the restoration was complete. Due to collapsing exterior walls, vandals were entering the hotel and in the early hours of June 13, 1965, the Mobberly Hotel burned with most of the windows shooting flames. All that remained was the exterior walls.

He also became active in Longview as a civic leader. He served on the City Council, Longview School Board and was a three-term Gregg County Commissioner. In 1883, Jim along with his brother Samuel, constructed the Mobberly Hotel. He was active in the hotel business until 1893.
