The Old Calvert Hotel, also known as the Dirr Cottage, is a National Register landmark dating to the 1870s with 10 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms & 3 half, and over a century of proven hospitality use. Built by German immigrant Gottlieb Dirr and later expanded into a grand hotel by his widow Hanna in 1904, this striking two-story property sits on a prominent corner lot directly across from the historic Southern Pacific Railroad line, just two blocks from the original train depot. Original hardwood floors, pocket doors, crown molding, shiplap walls, high ceilings, and pillars salvaged from Calvert's original Opera House welcome you inside. The expansive layout includes multiple living and dining areas, a large kitchen with commercial-sized sink, dual laundry rooms on each floor, and generous office space throughout. Located in the heart of the fourth-largest historic district in Texas, Calvert is a charming small town on Hwy 6 just 30 minutes from Bryan-College Station and roughly an hour from Waco. Walk to downtown antique shops, coffee houses, restaurants, and Virginia Field Park with its landmark 1895 pavilion. Previous commercial uses include B&B, hotel-restaurant, and salon - making this ideal for boutique lodging, an event venue, creative retreat, or simply an extraordinary private estate. National Register status may qualify the buyer for federal historic preservation tax credits on qualified rehabilitation costs. A rare opportunity to own a property with this much history, proven versatility, and untapped potential. ## Location - **Address:** 408 S Railroad Avenue, Calvert, TX 77837 - **County:** Robertson - **Coordinates:** 30.980419, -96.674135 - **Google Maps:** https://www.google.com/maps?q=30.980419,-96.674135 ## Virtual Tour & Media - **Video Tour:** https://www.propertypanorama.com/instaview/ntreis/21199060 ## Listing Agent - **Name:** Jared English - **Brokerage:** Congress Realty - **Broker Phone:** (866) 599-5601 - **Listing URL:** [View original listing](https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/408-S-Railroad-Ave_Calvert_TX_77837_M86641-77432?f=listhub&s=NTREIS&m=21199060&c=propsimple) ## Photos ![408 S Railroad Avenue - Photo 1](http://lh.rdcpix.com/42d699431bcf3b2b176c6f4b8499e6b2l-f3273939055r.jpg) ![408 S Railroad Avenue - Photo 2](http://lh.rdcpix.com/42d699431bcf3b2b176c6f4b8499e6b2l-f3930385404r.jpg) ![408 S Railroad Avenue - Photo 3](http://lh.rdcpix.com/42d699431bcf3b2b176c6f4b8499e6b2l-f125976945r.jpg) ![408 S Railroad Avenue - Photo 4](http://lh.rdcpix.com/42d699431bcf3b2b176c6f4b8499e6b2l-f2757553265r.jpg) ![408 S Railroad Avenue - Photo 5](http://lh.rdcpix.com/42d699431bcf3b2b176c6f4b8499e6b2l-f210329561r.jpg) ![408 S Railroad Avenue - Photo 6](http://lh.rdcpix.com/42d699431bcf3b2b176c6f4b8499e6b2l-f3790866307r.jpg) ![408 S Railroad Avenue - Photo 7](http://lh.rdcpix.com/42d699431bcf3b2b176c6f4b8499e6b2l-f9212130r.jpg) ![408 S Railroad Avenue - Photo 8](http://lh.rdcpix.com/42d699431bcf3b2b176c6f4b8499e6b2l-f1881254123r.jpg) ![408 S Railroad Avenue - Photo 9](http://lh.rdcpix.com/42d699431bcf3b2b176c6f4b8499e6b2l-f1979091757r.jpg) ![408 S Railroad Avenue - Photo 10](http://lh.rdcpix.com/42d699431bcf3b2b176c6f4b8499e6b2l-f3898157173r.jpg) ![408 S Railroad Avenue - Photo 11](http://lh.rdcpix.com/42d699431bcf3b2b176c6f4b8499e6b2l-f2709029909r.jpg) ![408 S Railroad Avenue - Photo 12](http://lh.rdcpix.com/42d699431bcf3b2b176c6f4b8499e6b2l-f2415333328r.jpg) ![408 S Railroad Avenue - Photo 13](http://lh.rdcpix.com/42d699431bcf3b2b176c6f4b8499e6b2l-f1695851983r.jpg) ![408 S Railroad Avenue - Photo 14](http://lh.rdcpix.com/42d699431bcf3b2b176c6f4b8499e6b2l-f1768416357r.jpg) ![408 S Railroad Avenue - Photo 15](http://lh.rdcpix.com/42d699431bcf3b2b176c6f4b8499e6b2l-f1195183451r.jpg) ![408 S Railroad Avenue - Photo 16](http://lh.rdcpix.com/42d699431bcf3b2b176c6f4b8499e6b2l-f2995047569r.jpg) ![408 S Railroad Avenue - Photo 17](http://lh.rdcpix.com/42d699431bcf3b2b176c6f4b8499e6b2l-f882885926r.jpg) ![408 S Railroad Avenue - Photo 18](http://lh.rdcpix.com/42d699431bcf3b2b176c6f4b8499e6b2l-f735882787r.jpg) ![408 S Railroad Avenue - Photo 19](http://lh.rdcpix.com/42d699431bcf3b2b176c6f4b8499e6b2l-f4182684173r.jpg) ![408 S Railroad Avenue - Photo 20](http://lh.rdcpix.com/42d699431bcf3b2b176c6f4b8499e6b2l-f3102993602r.jpg) ![408 S Railroad Avenue - Photo 21](http://lh.rdcpix.com/42d699431bcf3b2b176c6f4b8499e6b2l-f3942111545r.jpg) ![408 S Railroad Avenue - Photo 22](http://lh.rdcpix.com/42d699431bcf3b2b176c6f4b8499e6b2l-f270810599r.jpg) ![408 S Railroad Avenue - Photo 23](http://lh.rdcpix.com/42d699431bcf3b2b176c6f4b8499e6b2l-f473291369r.jpg) ![408 S Railroad Avenue - Photo 24](http://lh.rdcpix.com/42d699431bcf3b2b176c6f4b8499e6b2l-f193190368r.jpg) ![408 S Railroad Avenue - Photo 25](http://lh.rdcpix.com/42d699431bcf3b2b176c6f4b8499e6b2l-f2854500748r.jpg) ![408 S Railroad Avenue - Photo 26](http://lh.rdcpix.com/42d699431bcf3b2b176c6f4b8499e6b2l-f1949241557r.jpg) ![408 S Railroad Avenue - Photo 27](http://lh.rdcpix.com/42d699431bcf3b2b176c6f4b8499e6b2l-f4073585395r.jpg) ![408 S Railroad Avenue - Photo 28](http://lh.rdcpix.com/42d699431bcf3b2b176c6f4b8499e6b2l-f427397538r.jpg) ![408 S Railroad Avenue - Photo 29](http://lh.rdcpix.com/42d699431bcf3b2b176c6f4b8499e6b2l-f1998709232r.jpg) ![408 S Railroad Avenue - Photo 30](http://lh.rdcpix.com/42d699431bcf3b2b176c6f4b8499e6b2l-f1461260455r.jpg) ![408 S Railroad Avenue - Photo 31](http://lh.rdcpix.com/42d699431bcf3b2b176c6f4b8499e6b2l-f3249165217r.jpg) --- **MLS#:** 21199060 | **Updated:** 2026-10-26 **Source:** listhub *Copyright © 2026 North Texas Real Estate Information Systems, Inc.
