Description The Ashton Hotel was a historical redevelopment project in downtown Fort Worth, Texas. During an extensive five year process, the exteriors of the 1915 Fort Worth Club Building and the 1890 Winfree Building were rehabilitated to the original architecture styles, while the interiors were transformed into an elegant setting for a hotel of the new millennium.



The Fort Worth Club was dedicated to improving and expanding Fort Worth from a small town into a major city. The Club outgrew its building, so the members demolished their original home at 6th and Main Streets to erect the 1915 six-story building that now houses The Ashton. The Winfree Building was built in 1890 to house a law firm. The building was connected to the neighboring Fort Worth Club Building in a 1937 remodel.



The owners' vision to utilize the buildings as a hotel stemmed from the days when The Fort Worth Club occupied the building. The fourth floor of the Club had sleeping rooms that could be used by Club members or their guests. The buildings are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
