Numerous celebrities of the time, at least one future president, and possibly even Bonnie and Clyde spent a night at the Baker Hotel in Mineral Wells between 1930 and the 1950s. Those were the glory years for the 14-story 450-room hotel that still dominates the city skyline, even though it's been closed for years. Its Olympic-size pool was filled with local mineral waters and its opulent ballrooms and public spaces attracted moneyed tourists.
