Blackstone Hotel and The Blackstone Building

The Blackstone Building houses the Tyler Chamber of Commerce, as well as several
businesses. The Blackstone Hotel stood immediately to the south of the Blackstone
Building and was imploded in 1985. The old hotel site has been a parking lot ever
since that time.
The Blackstone Building was constructed after the hotel
was built, and though owned by the same people, it always was strictly an office
building. Furthermore, although next door to the hotel, the Blackstone Building
was a free-standing, self-contained structure.
You can see images of the
Blackstone Hotel in the postcard section of my website Past Glimpses of Tyler,
Texas, which can be found at URL http://home.sprynet.com/~tylertexas/ .
