The Queen Hotel was built about 1892 on lots now occupied by Lack's Furniture Store. Bob Little is believed to have been the first manager, and for a number of years the hostelry was called the Little Queen. Later operators were J. A. Campbell, father of Miss Ida Campbell and the late Mrs. L. R. (Eleanore) Hollingsworth; Giles Little; a Mrs. Percival and her son. Murray; and Mrs. Henry Snodgrass, mother of Miss Minta Snodgrass and the late Mrs. Nona Edwards. Mrs. Snodgrass managed the lodging house from 1916 until 1926, when Viggo Kohler, who owned the property, gave her the building provided she would move it off the premises. She had the structure torn down and the lumber was used to build a residence facing the San Antonio Highway, opposite the present location of Gibson's Discount Center. The home was destroyed by fire in 1938.
