The Great Southern Hotel
The US Department of the Interior identified the Great Southern Hotel as the most notable structure in the area.[4] The hotel was featured in the 1969 film Midnight Cowboy.[5] The building has been vacant since 1991 and has become dilapidated.[6] It has been owned by local developer Chip Abele since 2002 and now with Peter Jago and the entire GCFRC.[7] Proposals for a building that would incorporate and preserve the hotel have been discussed since 2005 as of 2018[update] a 19-story mixed use development is slated for construction.[5][8][9] The planned development includes a Hilton hotel and will be named Young Circle Commons.[6]
