Dodge City’s Oldest Building Collapses
From United Press International
DODGE CITY, Kan. —
The city’s oldest building, the 102-year-old Sitler & Bell building, has collapsed into a pile of rubble, closing a lane of traffic and a colorful chapter in the city’s history.
Authorities say a leaky roof weakened the second floor, which collapsed Sunday. The two-story building had at one time housed a bordello, hotel and grocery store but had been empty for two years. The collapse closed one lane of traffic on Trail Street.
