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
