“1976–2015 restored.”
“Since then, Mollard has completely renovated the hotel, which was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.”
“Jean Mollard and her late husband purchased it in 1976 from the city of Palestine. They agreed to bring it back to life, starting with shops on the ground floor and slowly adding residential rooms.”
“Private investors acquired the structure in 1976, and have gradually converted the Redlands into a mixed used facility of shops, a restaurant, office space, and an art gallery.”
“Although built as a first-class hotel for business travelers, the Redlands shortly proved unprofitable and was converted in 1918 to offices for the International and Great Northern (I&GN) Railroad and used until the mid-1950s.”
