Built in 1904 "Silk Stocking Row" takes its name from the description used during that era for the nearby prestigious homes located on Fourth Avenue.

Each room has access to the main and second floor wrap-around verandas.
The "Silk Stocking" is located within minutes of three lakes and some of the finest recreational facilities in Texas, where you can enjoy boating, fishing, rock climbing, and other outdoor adventures. Bike or hike along the Lake Mineral Wells State Park and Trailway portion of the rails-to-trials network or canoe down the Brazos River. Other nearby attractions and entertainment include BAT World Sanctuary, outdoor dramas, seasonal festivals including the Crazy Water Festival, Parade of Homes, Crystal Christmas, and rodeos. Call for specific details.
The historic and architecturally intriguing downtown area is within an easy walk and the ideal place to begin shopping for antiques, collectibles, crafts, hand-made furniture, and apparel. Bargains abound at the nearby outlet shopping area or the monthly Weatherford Trade Days.
During the height of its popularity, celebrities flocked to enjoy the curative powers of the "Crazy Water" baths and the splendor of the million-dollar hotels. Today, you can still sample the famous waters drawn from wells at the beautifully restored Famous Water Company, just three blocks away.
