Bacon Hotel

Located along some train tracks and sitting amid a moat of tall grasses and weeds is the old and abandoned Bacon Hotel.



The two-story hotel sits in the small community of Whitehall, in Poinsett County. It was built by a man named James Bacon way back in 1912 and mostly served timber company officials or traveling salespeople.



But the hotel only operated for a few years (which is surprising, with a name like Bacon Hotel you'd think it'd have more customers).



The building would then become housing for families who worked on nearby farms, and was occupied until the 1950s. After that it was left vacant and abandoned. In one window is a faded and worn curtain, which occasionally flutters as it catches a breeze through the broken glass.
