Restoration breathes life into Wilson Midland Hotel
A Wilson restoration group funds 90 percent of a 2.44 million project to revive the Midland Hotel built in 1898, adding a new elevator and dumb waiter while preserving historic beams, wallpaper, carpet, and oak floors. The 28 room hotel will feature private baths, modern HVAC, and a sprinkler system, with room sponsorships aiding ongoing costs.
