Carey House, Second Empire hotel in Wichita, United States.
The five-story brick building features a prominent tower at its northeast corner and a mansard roof with large semicircular arched openings.
Built in 1887 by businessman John B. Carey, the hotel received recognition on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972 for its architectural significance.
Carrie Nation's raid on the hotel bar in December 1900 marked a significant event in the American temperance movement leading to Prohibition.
Located at 525 East Douglas Avenue, the hotel maintains its original function while preserving historical elements through careful renovation work.
The property anchors the largest historic preservation project in Kansas, encompassing an entire city block of commercial buildings from the early 1900s.
