The Bitting Building is a historic structure in Wichita, Kansas. It was built in 1912 as a four-story building replacing an earlier building on the site. Seven additional stories were added in 1919. Major renovations were carried out in 1959 and the 1980s.[1] It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2012.[2] It is at 107 N. Market Street.
The current building was one of a series built for brothers who established a retail business and who were avid book collectors.[3] It has 11 stores.[4]
It sold in 1998 when it had a barber shop on its ground floor as well as retail. The top floor was occupied by an oil business and geologists had offices in the building.[5] It was empty in 2002 and was being converted to apartments in 2015.[6]
