Nueces Hotel
The Nueces Hotel in Corpus Christi, Texas was a luxury hotel that also served the city as a center of social and political life during the early twentieth century and was for years the largest building in Texas south of San Antonio.
== Beginnings ==
In the early 1900s, leading Corpus Christi citizens realized that the city needed such a hotel to attract tourists and business and decided to build one downtown. They chose the site of Hopson's meat processing plant and the Anderson family salt mill, including the Andersons' two story house that also stood on the site. The six story hotel, built by Ayers & Ayers Architects during a spate of municipal improvements, was completed in 1913, occupying the block between Water Street and Chaparral Street and having its main entrance on Peoples Street. It was named the Nueces Hotel, also the name of a hotel in La Pryor, Texas. In 1919 wealthy rancher W. W. Jones (1858–1942), who in 1929 built the nearby and still extant Jones Building, bought out the other stockholders to become the sole owner.
