Description
The Avalon Motel is a quiet little place, on a Jackboro hightway, Texas. Local historian and author Ann Arnold wrote in 'Gamblers and Gangsters: Fort Worth's Jacksboro Highway in the 1940s & 1950s' that the Avalon Motel and Avalon Club were owned by a shady character named Asher Rone, a gambler whose 'rap sheet extended at least as far back as the 1930s.' The tower once supplied water to the motel. Now the motel uses city water, and the tower is just a reminder of days past.
