Notable stay
The Franklin Hotel is a historic building located in Strawberry Point, Iowa, United States. The Franklin Hotel and Land Company was established in 1902 for the purpose of building a modern hotel to serve the community. They hired the Independence, Iowa architectural firm of Netcott and Donnan to design the building, which was constructed by E. M. Loop of Hopkinton, Iowa and opened on February 12, 1903. It has operated as a hotel ever since. The two-story brick building combines the Neoclassical and Romanesque Revival styles. It sits on the northeast corner of the intersection of Elkader Street and Mission Street, and its rounded corner follows the curve of the intersection. The commercial space adjacent to the north is also a part of the building, with hotel rooms on the second floor. (via Wikipedia)
