If you’ve always wondered what it would be like to live in Dallas during another era, check out this new bed and breakfast designed to take you back to a piece of local history, with no shortage of modern comforts.
The Gaston, located at 4802 Gaston Ave. in Old East Dallas, offers five luxury suites in a historic home built in 1918.
Reserve the Varco, named for one of the biggest equipment providers to the oil and gas industry. This modern industrial room features a unique steel-sliding door to a bathroom with a spa shower, king bed and floor-to-ceiling windows.
There’s also the Dentzel, named for the Dentzel Carousel Company, which built the old-fashioned carousel that remains a fixture at the State Fair of Texas. Although it’s the smallest room, it is also the most unique. It features a private terrace with a ferris wheel porch swing, a queen bed and a large bathroom with a spa shower.
The Gaston is more than just a place to stay. The property will double as a wedding venue and host events, such as murder mystery dinners and speakeasy parties.
