The Hexagon House Hotel, built in 1895 in Mineral Wells, Texas, was dismantled in 1959 for its building materials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It was constructed of long-leaf yellow pine; the exterior was cypress siding, and the roof was covered with hand-split cypress shingles. The interior was of “Heart of Pine” — the hardest that could be found wood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
All the stone work was done by two English stone-masons. The building was constructed with pegs and square nails. The four staircases inside spiraled through the five floors. The lobby floor was covered with hexagon-shaped tan, brown and blue tiles. The rooms were hexagon-shaped with a bath between every two rooms. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
