About Hotel Limpia
The Union Trading Company built the Hotel Limpia in 1912 as a hotel and community center in Fort Davis, with a doctor's office, drugstore, and guest rooms. It drew area ranchers and wealthy Texans seeking the region's cool summer climate. Later converted to apartments and offices, it housed Harvard University personnel for nearly twenty-five years.
HISTORY HAPPENED HERE at Hotel Limpia
Named for a nearby creek, was built here by the Union Trading Company in 1912. With a doctor's office, drugstore, stylish guest rooms, and spacious porches the hotel became a community social center where area news could be heard, a game of croquet played, or voting results observed. Guests included area ranchers and wealthy Texans, known locally as "Summer Swallows," who came for the cool summer climate. Converted for use as apartments and offices, the hotel housed Harvard University personnel for almost 25 years. The Hotel Limpia was reestablished in 1978.
