The "Haunted Hotel" in downtown Beaumont, Texas. Below its name, the sign reads, "Once You Check In, You May Never Check Out"
The bedraggled look of this old billboard along a lonely highway in remote Presidio County, Texas, would give one the impression that the motel in question might also be decrepit or even abandoned and long out of business. It is, instead (as of 2014), open and updated, as is its signage at the site in Marfa, Texas
Wrecking foundation of old building in Forgan, Oklahoma, which is a ghost dust town
A whimsical pedestrian-crossing sign in the "ghost town," some of which is still occupied and some of which consists of ruins of the Chisos quicksilver-mining company which operated from 1905 into the early 1940s, and the residences of those who worked there. Terlingua, Texas

It's unclear who erected the "Haunted Hotel" sign outside this long-shuttered old building in downtown Beaumont, Texas. The prankster may also be responsible for hanging the building's original vertical sign sideways. The latter identifies the structure as the "new" Rosemont Hotel, where rooms could be had for $1 and up. It was indeed new in 1893, when Beaumont was booming
Summary
Title, date, and keywords based on information provided by the photographer.
The building is more properly known as the Levy Building, named for its original owner. Until the 1950s, the ground floor was home to the Adler's retail clothing store. The (barely) surviving building is one of Beaumont's oldest.

In 2015, documentary photographer Carol Highsmith received a letter from Getty Images accusing her of copyright infringement for featuring one of her own photographs on her own website. It demanded payment of $120. This was how Highsmith came to learn that stock photo agencies Getty and Alamy had been sending similar threat letters and charging fees to users of her images, which she had donated to the Library of Congress for use by the general public at no charge. In 2016, Highsmith has filed a $1 billion copyright infringement suit against both Alamy and Getty stating “gross misuse” of 18,755 of her photographs. “The defendants [Getty Images] have apparently misappropriated Ms. Highsmith’s generous gift to the American people,” the complaint reads. “[They] are not only unlawfully charging licensing fees … but are falsely and fraudulently holding themselves out as the exclusive copyright owner.” According to the lawsuit, Getty and Alamy, on their websites, have been selling licenses for thousands of Highsmith’s photographs, many without her name attached to them and stamped with “false watermarks.” (more: http://hyperallergic.com/314079/photographer-files-1-billion-suit-against-getty-for-licensing-her-public-domain-images/)
