The Aumont Hotel, located at the corner of Austin Street and Mountain Street (It was named after the two streets), is one of the architectural gems of Seguin. Designed by Atlee B. Ayers, it opened in November of 1916 at a cost of $100,000. Ayers, a famous architect of his time, also designed the Starcke building on the corner of Nolte and Austin Street. The beautiful brickwork, and his wonderful lines give his buildings a timeless elegance. Here are a few shots of some of the fabulous features of the Aumont.
Here is a copy of an old post card of the hotel.
