A Granbury landmark is going up in flames this morning.
Just after 1 a.m. reports say a fire was reported at the Nutt House, the historic hotel on the Granbury square.
Firefighters found the fire was quite advanced with flames and dark plumes of smoke billowing from the roof of the two story structure which dates back to 1893, less than 30 years after the city was founded.
It was turned into a hotel in 1910 and it was the life's work of the Nutt Brothers, Jacob, Jesse and David Lee.
In the early years, the hotel was on the second floor with a mercantile store at street level. The Nutt House Hotel is designated as a historical Texas landmark.
