Constructed in 1899 and rebuilt after it was gutted by a fire in 1902, the Midland Hotel had stood vacant for over ten years. A result of tireless determination, the Wilson Community Foundation reopened the doors of the Midland Hotel last summer. Fred Abercromibie of Russell was the architect for the project and Mid-Continental Restoration Co., Inc., of Fort Scott was the General Contractor.
