On June 19th, 2015 a photographer friend and I went out to Dobson Prairie’s St. Boniface Catholic Church for some Milky Way night photography. On our two and half hour drive out to the little prairie church we made a few stops including the famous abandoned Baker Hotel in Mineral Wells,Texas.

The Abandoned Baker Hotel

The Baker Hotel opened its doors in 1929 in the small town of Mineral Wells, Texas and was one of the more advanced luxury hotels of its time. It became the go-to health spas in the United States. But over the years the hotel’s health benefits became less important and with the nearby Fort Wolters closing the hotel finally shut its doors for the last time in 1972.

Currently the Baker Hotel is under new ownership and has done a lot of clean up, added cameras, and boarded up all access to the hotel. Below are some images I took during our visit to the Baker.
