Jackson Hotel (Paola, Kansas)

The Jackson Hotel is a historic hotel building located at 139 W. Peoria St. in Paola, Kansas. The hotel was built in 1921 on a site which had contained a hotel since 1863; the Jackson Hotel was the third hotel built at the site. Architect George P. Washburn designed the hotel in the Commercial style. The hotel features a full-length porch on the ground floor and a front entry with a transom and sidelights, a common element of group residences of the era intended to make the building resemble a home. From 1937 to 1969, Paola business directories listed the Jackson Hotel as one of only two in the city, along with the Commercial Hotel; it became the only hotel in 1969 when the Commercial Hotel was demolished. By 1992, the hotel building had been vacated; it remained empty until a 2006 redevelopment effort.[2]
