Hotel Tipton is a historic building located in the central business district of Tipton, Iowa, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.[1] Twelve of Tipton's leading citizens perceived the need for a hotel in town and each subscribed to $1,000.00 worth of stock to build it.[2] Muscatine, Iowa architect H.W. Zeidler was employed to design the two story, L-shaped building in the Italianate style. Construction began in 1894 and it was completed the following year. The first floor contained the hotel's lobby, office, sample room, dining room, kitchen, pantries, and four retail units. The stable rents of the commercial space made the hotel economically feasible.[2] The second floor housed 35 guest rooms, a parlor, sitting room, two bathrooms and a sample room. In the late 1990s part of the second floor was converted into apartments.
