8) Baker Hotel, Mineral Wells, Texas
Mineral Wells, Texas is a place known for it’s healing mineral water. Drawing thousands of tourists every year, the old Baker Hotel became a hot spot back in the day. Doors opened in 1929. Standing 14-floors tall, The Baker Hotel was the first skyscraper built outside of a major metropolitan area. During its height, many celebrities even visited the hotel. Eventually, though, tourism ran dry and Mineral Wells became a ghost town. The hotel has sat vacant since the early 70s. Now, crews are working to revive both the hotel and town of Mineral Wells.
