Hotel Tipton is a historic building located in the central business district of
H.W. Zeidler, of Muscatine, Iowa, who also designed the Greenwood Cemetery Chapel in Muscatine,[3] 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.
