Property Description

Own a piece of Texas history. The Old Calvert Hotel, also known as the Dirr Cottage, is a National Register landmark dating to the 1870s with 10 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms & 3 half, and over a century of proven hospitality use. Built by German immigrant Gottlieb Dirr and later expanded into a grand hotel by his widow Hanna in 1904, this striking two-story property sits on a prominent corner lot directly across from the historic Southern Pacific Railroad line, just two blocks from the original train depot. Original hardwood floors, pocket doors, crown molding, shiplap walls, high ceilings, and pillars salvaged from Calvert’s original Opera House welcome you inside. The expansive layout includes multiple living and dining areas, a large kitchen with commercial-sized sink, dual laundry rooms on each floor, and generous office space throughout. Located in the heart of the fourth-largest historic district in Texas, Calvert is a charming small town on Hwy 6 just 30 minutes from Bryan-College Station and roughly an hour from Waco. Walk to downtown antique shops, coffee houses, restaurants, and Virginia Field Park with its landmark 1895 pavilion. Previous commercial uses include B&B, hotel-restaurant, and salon — making this ideal for boutique lodging, an event venue, creative retreat, or simply an extraordinary private estate. National Register status may qualify the buyer for federal historic preservation tax credits on qualified rehabilitation costs. A rare opportunity to own a property with this much history, proven versatility, and untapped potential.
