A new chapter is about to be written in the story of the old downtown Brownwood Hotel.  It involves restoration and preservation, and in an estimated three years, a boutique hotel.

On Wednesday morning, The Brownwood Historic Texas Hotel LLC finalized its purchase of the former Brownwood Hotel property at the corner of Fisk and Baker. The company, headed up by Jeff Tucker, owner of Teddy’s Brewhaus, intends to renovate the facility and create a boutique hotel that opens its doors to the public approximately three years from now.

Tucker told Brownwoodnews.com that, for the last 90 days, due diligence to determine the structural soundness of the structure has taken place. Upon completion, the decision was made to proceed with the purchase.  They were encouraged by the engineer’s report which found no serious weaknesses, saying it was structurally very sound and probably over-engineered for a building of its design.
