History
3
Constructed in 1904 by local merchant and real estate agent C.U. Yancy, the Beach Hotel became part of the Port Lavaca landscape for generations. At the time of its construction, it was the tallest building in town. Tourists from San Antonio and other inland cities often rode special excursion trains to Port Lavaca to enjoy recreational opportunities along the coast and to stay there. Traveling salesmen frequently lodged there, and its dining room hosted numerous community social events.
