Bennetts Office Supply located 404 North Oak (Hwy 281) Mineral Wells, TX…across the street from the Crazy Water Hotel is the place where the Crazy Theater was located. I have a photo but do not know how to publish. The photo is not mine and do not know the author.
As to everything being called Crazy in Mineral Wells..Judge J A Lynch came here with his family (founder of Mineral Wells) and dug a water well…tasted funny..so a Mr. Wiggins dug another well and was known as the Crazy Woman Well because a woman suffering a nervous breakdown drank from the well and was cured after several weeks..hence woman was dropped from the name and became known as Crazy Well. People flocked from everywhere to drink the waters for their aliments.
Mineral Wells was quite famous for many years..famous movie stars (Clark Gable, Will Rogers, James Cagney, Judy Garland and many more) came for the famous mineral baths & spas. Bath house were numerous and sprang up everywhere…conventions came here and Mineral Wells became a resort town. So much history here..
