Carey House, also known as the Eaton Hotel, is a historic building completed in 1887 in Wichita, Kansas. It was built by businessman and mayor John B. Carey and has a tower at its northeast corner.[1] It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
The building was designed by the firm Terry & Dumont (Charles W. Terry and Elbert Dumont). It is at 525 East Douglas Avenue in the heart of Carey House Square District, a contiguous block of late 19th and early 20th century buildings. The 5-story building is an example of eclectic architecture.[2]
Terry & Dumont are also credited with designing the Bitting Building in Wichita and Dumont with the H.F. Smith House at 721 W. Harvey Avenue in Wellington, Kansas, both properties NRHP listed.
