Check out the rehabilitation work being done on the Hotel Maytag in Newton. It was built in 1926 by F.L. Maytag, owner of the Maytag Corporation, and became the focal point of Newton society for 40 years. It fell into disrepair beginning in the 1960s and was largely neglected until two years ago when the city decided to bring it back to its original glory.
