The Magnolia Hotel is one of the oldest buildings standing in the downtown area of Seguin, but it looks like it's days are numbered. Originally, the building was a two-room log house in the 1840s, but modified by James Campbell, who added rooms and turned it into a hotel. There is supposed to be a cellar cut out of solid rock under the hotel, which reputedly provided shelter for folks during Indian scares. In the 1930s, the hotel was modified again, and a section became apartment units. Now, it sits quietly, just a block off the center of town, unnoticed for the most part.
