Roper Hotel

The Roper Hotel is a two-story building featuring architectural details from the late 1800s, located on Third Street in Marble Falls. It displays typical design elements from that era and remains in its original location in the town.

George and Elizabeth Roper founded this hotel in 1888 as the town began to grow and develop. The building gained official recognition for its historical importance when it was added to state and national historic registers in the following decades.

The building served as a meeting place where local people gathered for social events and community occasions during Marble Falls' early years. It held an important role in how the town's social life developed and connected its residents.

The building sits at the intersection of U.S. Route 281 and Third Street, making it easy to locate and access from the main road. It now serves as a medical clinic, so visitors should be respectful and check hours before visiting.

The building holds two separate historic designations at the same time: it appears on the National Register of Historic Places and also serves as a Recorded Texas Historic Landmark. This dual recognition is less common and reflects the building's importance both locally and beyond.
