Improvements to Neodesha’s historic Brown Hotel continue.

 

Work continues to transform the building in downtown Neodesha into a restaurant, entertainment venue, office spaces, and apartments. City Administrator Brogan Jones says the renovation is coming along nicely.

 

The project is funded by a Community Development Block grant that was awarded to the City in 2025 through the Kansas Department of Commerce. Neodesha City Commissioner Ed Truelove says that means the project is not being paid for by taxpayers.

 

The Brown Hotel was originally built in 1886 and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995.
