The Ashton Hotel was a historical redevelopment project in
downtown Fort Worth, Texas. During an extensive five year
process, the exteriors of the 1915 Fort Worth Club Building
and the 1890 Winfree Building were rehabilitated to the
original architecture styles, while the interiors were
transformed into an elegant setting for a hotel of the new
millennium. The Fort Worth Club was dedicated to improving
and expanding Fort Worth from a small town into a major
city. The Club outgrew its building, so the members
demolished their original home at 6th and Main Streets to
erect the 1915 six-story building that now houses The
Ashton. The Winfree Building was built in 1890 to house a
law firm. The building was connected to the neighboring Fort
Worth Club Building in a 1937 remodel.
The owners' vision to utilize the buildings as a hotel
stemmed from the days when The Fort Worth Club occupied the
building. The fourth floor of the Club had sleeping rooms
that could be used by Club members or their guests. The
buildings are listed on the National Register of Historic
Places.
