JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (KMIZ)

Demolition is underway for the dilapidated Truman Hotel in Jefferson City.

Mayor Ron Fitzwater confirmed crews started tearing down the building on Monday afternoon.

The former hotel in the 1500 block of Jefferson Street has long been called an “eyesore” by city officials. Discussions around the building’s demolition have occurred for years, with the building becoming vacant in 2015 and being declared dangerous in 2020.

Previous reporting says photos submitted in the application for demolition – which are dated from 2023 – appear to show hazardous conditions within the building, including mold, scrap, broken walls and debris.
