About This Property
Own a true piece of Texas history with The Old Calvert Hotel, also known as the Dirr Cottage--a National Register landmark dating to the 1870s with 10 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, 3 half baths, and a long history of hospitality use. Built by German immigrant Gottlieb Dirr and expanded into a grand hotel by his widow Hanna in 1904, this striking two-story property sits on a prominent corner lot across from the historic Southern Pacific Railroad line, just two blocks from the original depot. Rich in character, it features original hardwood floors, pocket doors, crown molding, shiplap walls, high ceilings, and architectural elements including pillars from Calvert's original Opera House. The spacious layout offers multiple living and dining areas, a large kitchen with commercial-sized sink, dual laundry rooms on each level, and flexible office/common spaces. Located in the heart of one of Texas' largest historic districts, just 30 minutes from Bryan-College Station and about an hour from Waco, with walkability to shops, dining, and Virginia Field Park. Previously operated as a Bed & Breakfast, hotel-restaurant, and salon, this property is ideal for boutique lodging, an event venue, or a unique private estate, and its size and proven use make it an excellent Airbnb or short term rental opportunity. National Register status may qualify for historic tax credits--an exceptional opportunity with. history, versatility, and income potential!
