You are standing in front of the building built by the blind Nutt brothers, Jesse F. and Jacob, who along with family settled in Granbury in 1866. When their mercantile establishment outgrew the 16 x 12-foot log building, this hand-hewn stone structure was built in 1893 for the Nutt brothers by local contractor Jim Warren. In 1919 the family grocery store was remodeled, and the second floor became the Nutt Hotel. A claim to fame was the dining room which was patronized by residents and visitors. This was one of the first buildings to be restored in 1970s by Mary Lou Nutt Watkins and Joe Nutt.
