This historic Gulf Coast hotel is temporarily safe from demolition. | via texasstandard
. The hotel has survived fires and hurricanes. It’s housed people during wars. But mostly it’s been the seaside center of culture and social life for Palacios locals and tourists alike.
“We’ve been very impressed at how many people have come forward and signed the petition to save the Luther,” Doughty said. “Local people, people from around the country, people from, actually, around the world.” Doughty says her team and some pro bono lawyers are going to make sure every “t” has been crossed and “i” dotted before a demolition goes forward. But she’s still hopeful her group can help the Ed Rachal Foundation change its plans. She says the foundation has done a lot of good work for the Palacios community and the next best thing they can do, both for economic and cultural reasons, is to preserve the Luther Hotel.
“Wouldn’t the news headline that they might like to see be ‘the Ed Rachal Foundation saves the Luther Hotel’?” Doughty said.
