Mineral Springs Hotel - Paoli, IN This 1896 Hotel on the Paoli town square is part of the Paoli Historic District on the National Register of Historic Places. Here is the text from the nominating form:

Mineral Springs Hotel, 168 S. Court Street, 1895. One of the outstanding buildings in the historic district, the hotel is a three-story, brick structure. There is a recessed, gable roofed center section flanked by twin, hipped roofed towers. In the recess between the towers, there is a porch on the first story and balconies on the upper stories. Windows in the center section are double hung, wood. On the third floor, windows have round arched openings. There are oriel windows on the second story of the towers. The storefront on the east tower is intact. The storefront of the other tower has been altered, and the central entry doors replaced. An historic photograph shows that there were modillions under the eaves of the towers. These are now gone. Generally, however, the building has a good degree of integrity. A group of local businessmen, including Amos Stout, John Mans, S.R. Know, Charles Boyd, and J.P. Throop, built this hotel in an effort to promote local tourism. The hotel also served as a center of local cultural and recreational life. It had an Opera House in the lobby and a bowling alley and pool room in the basement. The hotel had 80 rooms, and continued to operate until 1958

Ethel and William Luckett were responsible for the construction of the Scott theater and they ran the business until Pete and Judy West took over in 1980. The West were the owners until 2002, this having been an important part of the entertainment of many generation in and around Scottsburg. In 2002, it was sold to Bill and Phyllis Duke, who cashed in all the old movie equipment, cameras, etc. They re-opened as a county music Jamboree. In 2006, the enterprise was acquired by Ron Ross and he and his family increased the popularity of the venue significantly.
The Luckett's made a dynamic couple who, in the 1930's and 1940's, ran theaters in Scottsburg and Austin. In 1938, they also developed a swimming pool entertainment complex that was located in the area of the intersection of North Gardener and Owen streets in Scottsburg.
