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
