About this property

The Zapp Building, later known as the Country Place Hotel and Restaurant, is a historic building in Fayetteville, Texas, United States. It was built in 1900 by builders Stidham and Kurtz in the Romanesque Revival style for local merchant Hugo Zapp to replace a wooden building at the site which burned down. Zapp bought a shop at this prominent location at the northwest corner of the town square in 1876. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on June 23, 1983, and designated a contributing property to the Fayetteville Historic District by the registrar on July 10, 2008.
