The Story

The former Josephine Hotel is associated with sounds of unseen company: voices, hints of past revelry, and the smell of smoke where no smoker can be found. A paranormal group's account also describes a small moving light in a hallway. The building's later arts uses helped bring visitors into a place with a much older social history.

Former hotel with later arts uses; confirm current public operation. Sources give 126 and 130 North Prairie Street, so entrance/address needs reconciliation.
