If you look at the skyline of Wichita, it’s hard not to notice the round blue roof of Century II. However, in recent years that roof has fallen into disrepair. “We found flakes of the roof when we’ve been watering. So yes, the roof is deteriorating, the building looks rundown, it’s decrepit,” said Save Century II Chairperson Celeste Racette. The city is looking to fix that. On Tuesday the Wichita City Council will review a plan to spend just short of 10 million dollars on repairs to the historic building. Half of that will go to the roof. “Our goal is to just bring it up to the quality and a level that Wichitans should expect from any asset that they themselves actually own,” said Wichita Mayor Brandon Whipple.
