OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - The state Tourism and Recreation Commission has voted to tear down part of the lodge at Roman Nose State Park near Watonga. The commissioners voted to demolish the 27-room south wing of the lodge.

The wing has been closed since rains from Tropical Storm Erin hit Blaine County in August 2007. Crews sent to repair the water damage found mold and evidence that the lodge is eroding from its footing. The other part of the lodge including the restaurant, meeting rooms and 20 lodge rooms will remain intact.
