Group seeks block on sale of Hotel Stilwell
A Pittsburg citizens group sues to stop the Wichita based Stilwell Development Corp from selling the 104 year old Hotel Stilwell to Tri-States Management. The Stilwell Heritage and Educational Foundation claims the sale violates a right of first refusal and a temporary restraining order stops removal or sale of contents while a permanent injunction hearing is set. The hotel, once a coal era landmark hosting governors and figures like Bryan and Roosevelt, has largely sat vacant with extensive repairs needed and a potential teardown option considered by Tri-States.
