On the eve of the twentieth century, small-town Texas was still
wild country lacking in the commodities and cultural centers of
larger cities. This changed, however, with the arrival of the Santa
Fe rail line, followed quickly by the Harvey House. Established in
Kansas by English immigrant Fred Harvey, Harvey Houses could be
found throughout the Southwest and adjoined local depots in sixteen
Texas towns. Found in every corner of the state, Harvey Houses were
not just restaurants and hotels for weary, hungry travelers but
were also bustling social centers and often the only commercial
outlet for the communities that developed around them. Author Rosa
Walston Latimer tells the history of hospitality the "Fred Harvey
way" in turn-of-the-century Texas, woven from personal stories of
the famous "Harvey Girls" and other employees of Texas Harvey
Houses.
