    The Sterling a building's story of success and hard times

    My Scholarship entry - The Sterling

    Others use the Hotel Sterling as a place of rebellion. Vandalism, empty bottles of alcohol, condom wrappers, empty dime bags and rolling papers cover the second floor. The hotel is now in danger of collapsing. What used to be one of the most lavish high-rise hotels in Wilkes-Barre is now considered hazardous to the community. The streets near The Sterling have been diverted for the past two years. As of next month, this piece of my town’s history will be demolished and it will remain nothing but a memory.
