[n 1] The hotel was opened in 1928 and was added to the National Register of Historic Places on May 26, 2000.

At its opening in 1928, the seven-story hotel was the tallest building in Bryan.

Several businesses, including a tailor, a barber and a cafe were located on the first floor.

The home was open until 1975 and then became a resident hotel with small apartments until it closed in 1980.

The LaSalle sat empty for seventeen years when a private developer with city backing began renovations.
