Marcia,
What is the story behind the hotel (I think) renovation in Eureka?
The outside looks to be going through a serious redo.
Know anything about the inside rework or what is on the inside or what they will use it for?
In searching for the courthouse roofing project, I came across the following from a Kansas Preservation publication. The hotel is next to the supermarket on the main street:
The 2009 Endangered Historic Places are:
Greenwood Hotel – Eureka
Once Eureka's largest hotel, the Greenwood Hotel served as a
popular meeting place for the rich cattle and oil traders in the
20th century. Built in 1883, the Greenwood Hotel was
remodeled in 1926 in the Spanish Revival style. Its most
defining exterior features are the unique multicolored stucco
walls and terra cotta roof. The exterior wall surface is a rare
blend of multicolored paint that was mixed into the stucco
and applied to the wall. Though once a popular destination
place for travelers and businessmen, the hotel has fallen into
disrepair and is suffering water damage and neglect. Funds
must be raised for repairs and to mitigate further water
damage to the structure and for educational programs. The
local preservation group, the Greenwood Preservation Society,
would like to see the Greenwood restored to its 1926 period
condition and reopened as a 32-room hotel for Eureka.
