Bartlett TX is one of the most unique historic towns in Texas. The Bartlett National bank was opened in 1904 and was an operating bank until the 1930's. It was rescued from its abandoned state and has been lovingly restored. You can walk down historic brick streets and window shop in a variety of shops. The Bank contains many original features - including the VAULTS! There are 2 vaults that we haven't broken into yet - wonder what could be inside? The Bartlett National Bank now boasts 2 bedrooms in the old banker office space, a kitchen in what was the old teller station with the teller walls still in tact. The Bank Managers office is now your study and contains letters originally written in that very office in the early 1920's. The old bank vaults serve as a pantry and wine cellar. The soaring ceilings are ornate and showcase the true beauty of this historic building. You'll be able to gaze at the detail while resting on the sleeper sofa in the bank lobby turned living room. The Bartlett National Bank is a one of a kind stay in the most photographed town in Texas! We can't wait to welcome you! And when its time to go, you won't get a list of 'chores'. We know you are on vacation! We do hope folks will take great care of our historic property, and when you leave our cleaning crew will make it sparkle for the next guest! You will have the entire unit. Prior to check in you will receive a secure door code that will only be available for your stay. No other guest will have had your code. There are 2 front doors. The door with the entry code is the door that faces Clark Street (and is lit by the street lamp). Immediately inside to the right is a light switch. The wifi password will be sent to you along with your key code. Park anywhere on Clark or Evie Streets. In the unit we have created a guest manual and this is in the kitchen. We also put together a book to tell you all about the bank and what fun stories we have learned about it from our renovation and talks with the sweet neighbors in Bartlett. We love this old Bank! We've spent long hard hours restoring it and we hope you love it as much as we do! Thanks for being our guest, Rick and Jennifer We want our guests to be happy! We are just a text message away if you need anything. We reside close by and can be available if you need anything, however we won't be around unless you ask us too, as we want you to enjoy the beauty and scenery of Downtown Bartlett and the surrounding towns. Inside the bank we have left you a full guest guide to help you make the most of your stay! This is a historic town with glimpses of history at every turn. The murals are a fun reason to get out and walk the streets of downtown Bartlett. There are quaint places to eat and some fun shops to explore. E Clark Street is paved in bricks. Take time to wander the streets, locate the murals, and picture yourself in a movie (The Bartlett National Bank and downtown Bartlett were key filming/set locations for the Whole Wide World, Newton Boys, True Grit, Revolution, and so much more). Remember everything is bigger in Texas! Even the bugs! Despite regular pest control services there are occasional bugs in Texas that can’t be helped. Old buildings are prone to have the occasional spider and seasonally in Texas we see crickets.
