Rebuilt Restored Historic Landmark
Piano
From the Baker Hotel - Mineral Wells
This grand piano once provided soothing background music
for guests checking into one of the South's most elegant Hotels. More than
just an inn, the Baker was an institution designed to promote health and
relaxation. Guests could drink the non-alcoholic mineral or 'crazy' water
at its bars. The Piano's usual home was a curved nook just to the left
of the main lobby where local lore claims that
Judy Garland would
often come down and play her rendition of 'chop sticks' during her stays
at the Hotel. Other noted guests at the Baker were Will Rogers, Jean
Harlow, Lawrence Welk, Pat Boone, Roy Rogers & Dale Evans, President
Lyndon Johnson, Marlene Dietrick, Gen. John J. Pershing, Astronaut John
Glenn, film-maker D.W. Griffith, the Three Stooges, and the
legendary Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow. Lorraine Miles McFarland -
the Yodeling School Girl remembered belting out her songs accompanied
by this piano. "To me the piano always sounded wonderful," McFarland said.
Today, now fully restored and rebuilt, this beautiful piano is available,
and for sale to the public. Place this historic Grand Piano in your home,
Church, or business and enjoy thoughts of the past with this completely
refurbished instrument. Call for an appointment. Serious inquiries only.
