The Gold Dust Hotel, located at 402 N. Seventh St. in Fredonia, Kansas, was built in c.1884-85. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991.[1]
It is a three-story brick Italianate-style building. It has also been known as Hotel Cunningham, as Farris Hotel, and as Gold Dust Hotel and Apartments.[2]
When it was completed in 1885, the Wilson County Citizen asserted:
The Gold Dust is without doubt as fine a hotel as can be found in Southern Kansas. It would be splendid hotel in a city of ten or twenty thousand inhabitants. It is not only a grand building externally but contains the most modern appointments and conveniences of first-class institutions of this kind and is furnished in all respects in a most elegant and comfortable manner. Its ventilation is perfect and not an important essential feature for a number one hotel has been omitted.[2]
