- Hotel Stilwell Kansas Historic Resources Inventory Entry
The Hotel Stilwell is a four story red brick building with limestone trim located on the northwest corner of Broadway and Seventh Streets in Pittsburg, Kansas. In plan the structure is basically rectangular at ground level and U-shaped from the first floor up to the flat, built-up roof. Plain one-story brick service structures, now in a deteriorated condition, had gradually been added to the rear, and ruins remain of a concrete addition. The building also has a basement.
The principal facades are the two 120 foot walls facing east on Broadway and south on Seventh Street. The main entrance is on the Broadway side. It is distinguished by a limestone archway that is adorned by carved stone ornament. The name of the hotel is inscribed herein raised lettering. Above this archway feature is an open, two-bay recessed balcony on the second story and a carved stone panel set into the window bay on the third story, which assist in emphasizing the importance of this entrance.
