PROJECT OVERVIEW
Historic hotel buildings are generally good candidates for adaptive reuse and can be easily converted into modern market-rate or affordable rental housing. They tend to be centrally located and are constructed with floor plans that are consistent with residential use.
MacRostie Historic Advisors LLC served as the historic tax credit consultant to Dominium Development in the rehabilitation of the Hotel Dale, a six-story Italian Renaissance Revival-style building that was developed and constructed by the Coffeyville Chamber of Commerce in 1924. At the time of its construction, the hotel was the tallest building in the city of Coffeyville. The building is significant as a reminder of the long-term community effort to bring a "first-class" high-rise hotel to Coffeyville-an effort made possible by the involvement and donations of over 100 local residents. The hotel was owned and operated by the Coffeyville Building Improvement Company until 1969, when it was converted into low-income residential apartment housing with continued first floor retail and commercial space.
The project included deferred maintenance, replacement of HVAC systems, new roofing and insulation, upgrading of kitchens and baths, as well as restoration of storefronts and transoms based on original images. MacRostie Historic Advisors implemented the successful nomination of the building for listing on the National Register of Historic Places, worked closely with the project team to develop a scope of work compatible with the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation, and secured federal and state historic tax credit approvals from the State Historic Preservation agencies (Kansas State Historical Society and the Kansas Department of Revenue) and the National Park Service.
