The King Edward Hotel rises as a flat-fronted brick box, painted a faded, creamy yellow, on the corner of Ninth Avenue. Built in nineteen oh five, it served as a rough-and-tumble railway hotel for workers and travelers passing through the dusty frontier town. When the oil boom arrived, it became a home for bohemians and, eventually, a gritty sanctuary for blues musicians. Tommy Shannon and Stevie Ray Vaughan played here, often finding the floors sticky with beer and the atmosphere thick with smoke.
