Built in 1918, the Lassen Hotel is an eleven-story Chicago School brick structure in Wichita, Kansas, designed by the architectural firm Richards, McCarty & Bulford. Originally configured with an L-shaped plan on its upper floors, the building was expanded in 1922 with an added wing that transformed it into a U-shape. The hotel passed through several owners and operators—including the Schimmel Hotel group from 1942 to 1969—before being renamed the Radisson Wichita Hotel in 1969. In 1954, it briefly housed a satellite studio of Hutchinson's KTVH, making it the base for the first television station to serve Wichita. The structure was later repurposed as offices under the name Market Centre and subsequently converted to residential use. Listed on both the National Register of Historic Places (1984) and the Register of Historic Kansas Places, the building underwent a renewed conversion effort beginning in 2024 to create affordable housing apartments.
