Gadsden Hotel

The Story

The Gadsden Hotel's basement is associated with a headless man. The Henry Trost historical-building site records that figure, while Legends of America notes that some retellings identify him as Pancho Villa and place sightings in corridors as well. The apparition is local lore; its identity is not an established historical fact. Add Henry Trost source for headless basement figure; Pancho Villa identification remains legend. Directory details may be historical. Address is directory-supported; exact mapping withheld.
