stormed stayed in kansas / decided to take this shot of main street. the following from the local archive.. "Known as the "Waldorf of the Prairies," the hotel became headquarters for heads of wealthy cattle firms before the turn of the century. "It's spacious corridors and spindled patios were constantly thronged with booted and spurred cowmen. Cattle deals amounting to millions of dollars have been transacted over the long table in the great inner court."
