Big Bend History: Chambers Hotel, Marathon, TX in 1978

The Chambers Hotel, located at 106 1st Street in Marathon, Brewster County, is a historic building constructed in 1891 by Mary Collins. It was later purchased by Gran Chambers in 1905, who enlarged the original adobe building and added a wooden frame over the thick walls. It operated as Chambers Hotel until 1930 and was designated a Recorded Texas Historic Landmark in 1965. Source: https://atlas.thc.state.tx.us/Details/5043000801
