First Post Card of Hotel Blessing (built 1909)

The hotel catered to school teachers and landseekers coming to settle here. Note car styles and the fence. Before cattle laws were passed in Matagorda County, the hotel, restored by the Blessing Historical Foundation in 1977, remains essentially the same, bearing plaques of the National Register of Historic Places and the Official Historical Medallion on Texas.
