SIKESTON - Motorists in the downtown Sikeston area may notice the former Dunn Hotel gradually getting shorter. Harry Pratt of Pratt Development has begun the task of removing the building, or at least the top of two floors. "Disassembling it I call it," he said before adding, "recycling." It may take longer, but his method will continue the hotel's legacy in the same way. Instead of bashing the building, built in the early 1900's, into bits, Pratt is painstakingly taking it apart a piece at a time. "The cost of putting it into a landfill wouldn't make it realistic (to demolish it). It would cost you a fortune," he said.
