(KAIR)--Impassioned voices from Atchison’s African-American community were heard Monday as the Atchison City Commission considers the future of a historically significant, but structurally unsound structure, that stands on the city’s north side.
At issue is the future of 1118 North 7th Street, commonly referred to as the old Rock Inn, which has been vacant for a number of years.
Owned by the City, and placed within the City’s landbank, a public hearing during Monday’s Commission meeting heard voices asking for the structure to be preserved.
