J.M. and Mary Ann Koch owned and operated a hotel in D'Hanis beginning in 1898. They purchased the land on this site in July 1902 and built this hotel in 1906. Reportedly constructed by Chinese railroad laborers, it is built of early bricks from the D'Hanis Brick Plant. In December 1914 the Koch Family sold the building, which continued as a hotel until 1920. The Famer's Exchange of D'Hanis purchased it that year for use as a feed store, adding a cotton scale to the East side of the structure. A later owner operated it as a boarding house. For years it was managed as a popular Airbnb destination in D'Hanis and my clients have been using it as a secondary home for the last 18 months. A simple but elegant early 20th-century hotel with late victorian details, the edifice's notable architectural features include its symmetrical plan, three-bay façade with a central door, paired round-arch windows, two-story porch, and corbelled brickwork on the parapet. This amazing structure has six bedrooms (two downstairs and four upstairs), five and a half bathrooms, a sitting parlor/dining room, and a living room.
