Opened on October 1, 1930, Hotel Settles was built by Will R. and  Lillian Settles, following the discovery of oil on their ranch. Designed  by architect David Castle, the building was constructed as a solid  concrete, 15-story, 150-room hotel with a restaurant and a pharmacy.

At  the time, it was the tallest building between El Paso and Ft. Worth.  The Settles family owned the hotel for two years, but sold it when the  Great Depression gripped the nation and their oil revenues diminished.  The hotel went through several owners in the ensuing years.
