Palomino Motel lots up for auction in Sweetwater

The lots where the old Palomino Motel used to sit on East Broadway in Sweetwater will be up for auction on October 4. The estimated minimum bid is $27,980.00, according to Perdue Brandon (Perdue, Brandon, Fielder, Collins & Mott), tax attorneys for Nolan County.

The .434 acre site is one of 19 parcels in Nolan County that are being sold for back taxes.

The address of the former Palomino is 1500 E Broadway. More information can be found on the Nolan County Appraisal District site. 

The neon sign from the motel now resides at Cook's Garage, a bar and grill in Lubbock.

The Texas Historical Commission estimates the motel was built in 1935.

The motel was razed in 2020 by the city. A photo of the demolition appeared in the October 1, 2020 issue of the Sweetwater Reporter.

The auction will take place on the north side of the Nolan County Courthouse in Sweetwater, scheduled for 2:00 p.m.
