Bryan Texas
MOTOR Texas cruised to the Bryan - College Station area on May 17, 2014. The first thing we do is check out the old town area, and we were not disappointed! Bryan has done a good job at maintaining the historic buildings on North Main Street. We relaxed with a burger and beverage at the Chicken Oil Co. on the way out.

Historic LaSalle Hotel. "In May of 1999, LaSalle Hotel Limited decided to revive Bryan’s most historic hotel. After more than a year of careful renovations to preserve the original terrazzo flooring and windows, the hotel officially re-opened its doors in September of 2000 and was added to the National Register of Historic Places." http://www.lasalle-hotel.com/about-en.html

The Ice House building, 800 North Main and MLK Jr, served as the main location for Bryan locals to pick up blocks of ice before refrigerators became commonplace.
