The Hexagon House Hotel, Mineral Wells, Texas,

This unique four-story, hexagonal structure was designed to optimize airflow throughout its 30 rooms, which made it popular in the hot Texas climate. It was also among the first hotels in the town to feature rooms lit by electricity. 

It was constructed of long-leaf yellow pine; the exterior was cypress siding, and the roof was covered with hand-split cypress shingles. The interior was of "Heart of Pine" (The hardest that could be found) wood.

All the stone work was done by two English stone-masons. The building was constructed with pegs and square nails.

The four staircases inside spiraled through the five floors.

The lobby floor was covered with hexagon-shaped tan, brown and blue tiles.

The rooms were hexagon-shaped with a bath between every two rooms. 

Construction was started in 1895 and completed in 1897. The building was dismantled in 1959 for its building materials.

Imperial three-colour carved ‘Nine Dragon’ lacquer throne,

Qianlong period (1736-1795).

The throne is finely carved through the red lacquer to the ochre and dark green lacquer and has a stepped back separated into three vertical panels each containing dragons chasing flaming pearls amidst dense clouds.

The two side railings are similarly carved in high-relief with dragons striding amidst bats in flight and dense scrolling clouds above a rectangular seat decorated with archaistic lotus scroll and a narrow waist with a shaped apron centred with a front-facing dragon.

The back panel is carved with a bat suspending a chime and a double-fish. The whole is raised on thick rounded legs joined by rectangular base stretchers.
