1937:
Hotel Eaton, Douglas & St. Francis. Another
Wichita entry in the National Register of Historic Places,
the former Carey House Hotel boasts iconic cultural status
due to its associations with anti-liquor activist Carrie
Nation and bohemian poet Allen Ginsberg. The former smashed
up the hotel bar with an axe in 1900; the latter immortalized
the building in his epic poem Wichita
Vortex Sutra. Known today as Eaton Place, the grand
structure serves as an apartment building.
