Hiawatha Hotel

The Hiawatha Hotel was built circa 1905-1909. It served the city as a boarding home with five rooms for let at $3.50 per week and up. A mineral water well is in the east yard and, according to "History of Mineral Water Springs and Wells", contains soda water. Eventually the property was used as a nursing home. Today it is a private residence. It still reflects an excellent example of Victorian architecture found in early Excelsior Springs construction, both private and commercial. It features a three-story turrent and pieces of original stained glass. The house is listed on the Local Landmarks Register.
