Cattleman Alfred S. Gage hired Henry Trost to build a Mission-style base for his Brewster County ranch; the hotel opened in April 1927, and Gage died a year later. Houston rancher JP Bryan bought the faded house in 1978, restored the original rooms, and added Los Portales, pueblo-style courtyard lodgings. The White Buffalo Bar and 12 Gage restaurant made Marathon the Big Bend overnight stop. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
