Olde Park Hotel, Historical hotel in Ballinger, Texas, US.

The Olde Park Hotel is a brick building in downtown Ballinger featuring original architectural details and wooden floors from its 1886 construction. The structure rises two stories with classic facade design and retains its original character throughout.

The building stood before Ballinger existed and was built as a bunkhouse for railroad workers; it was sold at auction in July 1886. Over its life it served as a schoolhouse, a hotel and a saloon. One expansion was moved to Ballinger on logs from nearby Runnels City, and part of the building is believed to have briefly served as Runnels's courthouse.

The building's name comes from its years as a hotel beside Ballinger's park, and it now serves as a bed and breakfast and event venue owned by the LaFave family. Guests sleep in a structure that has also been a schoolhouse and a saloon, and the owners market the house for its reported hauntings.

The hotel offers overnight stays and can be rented for private events, so visitors should check ahead about which areas are accessible. Guided tours help you understand the building's history and architecture better.

The building has gained a reputation among paranormal enthusiasts for unexplained sounds recorded in its corridors. Visitors report hearing footsteps and voices with no apparent source in different parts of the building.
