Hotel Burlington
Hotel Burlington, now known as The Burlington Apartments, is a historic building located in the central business district of Burlington, Iowa, United States. It was individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987. It was included as a contributing property in the Downtown Commercial Historic District in 2015.〔
At the turn of the 20th-century Burlington had grown into a manufacturing town and a center for commercial travelers. In order to remain a leading commercial city in the state, the businessmen in the community saw a need for a quality hotel. They banded together and raised the $350,000 required for construction of the Hotel Burlington to serve the city's business, convention and tourist needs. Davenport architects Seth E. Temple and Parke T. Burrows designed the Renaissance Revival structure. It opened on February 6, 1911 with 125 guest rooms on seven floors. All of the rooms had telephones and running water, and most them had a private bath. An electric sign was placed on top of the building so that it was visible from the nearby train station. The hotel was so successful that the $100,000 east wing was added in 1923, and the top two floors were added in 1931 for about $300,000.〔 In both instances the local businessmen funded the expansion. The hotel remained in operation with several different owners until 1980 when it went into receivership. The building was subsequently converted into an apartment building.
