HISTORY:
Occupying a prominent corner in the southern end of Bryan's historic downtown district, The LaSalle Hotel is an architectural landmark representative of the city's early 20th-century commercial development. At that time, Bryan was a major railroad stop between Houston and Dallas, and its depot on the Houston and Texas central rail line (now demolished) once stood across main street from The LaSalle. Completed in 1928 for leading businessman Robert Wistar Howell (1877-1960) and opened for business in 1929, The LaSalle Hotel was the tallest building in downtown Bryan at the time of its construction. Austin architect George Louis Walling designed the seven-story building with classical details and a distinctly vertical emphasis. The first floor included the dining room and coffee shop, while the convention hall and ballroom were located on the second floor. The LaSalle accommodated visitors to Bryan and nearby College Station, including families, politicians, society figures, business travelers and military personnel. The building served as a nursing home from 1959 until 1975 and was closed for the last two decades of the 20th century. Following a rehabilitation project, The LaSalle returned to its historic use as a downtown hotel in 2000.
