| On to Clovis to take a photo of the Clovis Hotel. Jim and I had just been through Clovis a few months earlier on the way to and from Lubbock to purchase our toad GURTIE. I did not like Clovis much while driving through it then, and was not really looking forward to going there again. But, I had to get the photo. This photo was also identified by using other knowledge. To obtain the photos was easy, just a block off the main highway through town. We zipped into a parking space, clicked a few pics, and then on the way to our next stop. The elegant Hotel Clovis opened October 20, 1931 with 114 rooms. The Hotel had the first elevator in southeastern New Mexico From my research it looks like the Hotel Clovis closed around 1982. It is currently undergoing renovation as you can see in the photo. |
