Hotel Wooten

The Hotel Wooten, a historic 16-story tower in downtown Abilene, Texas, was built in 1930 and is known for its iconic neon sign and its role in local lore, particularly during the Great Depression. Once a vibrant social hub, it faced decline in the 1970s but was revitalized in 2005, transforming into an apartment building. The hotel is famous for its quirky history, including the 'Wooten corner' where wind currents created playful yet controversial moments, making it a unique point of interest for tourists and researchers alike.
