The Shamrock Court Motel in Sullivan, Missouri. It can be yours for $125,000. Lots of possibilities. Actually, now you're too late. Missouri's Roamin' Rich bought it.

Traveling Iowa: Seven Unique and Historic Hotels-- Part 1: Historic Park Inn in Mason City, All That and Frank Lloyd Too

From Travel Awaits site October 15, 2020, 7 unique and historic hotels in Iowa for the perfect stay" by Sara Broers.

And, we have even stayed in two.   One of our favorite states to visit, is Illinois' neighbor, Iowa.  Right 'Cross the river as they say.

And, you know me and lists.  Hard to resist.

1.  HISTORIC PARK INN, MASON CITY

Then last remaining hotel in the world designed by Frank Lloyd Wright.  The original opened in 1910, but there were big renovations complete in 2010.

If you like the Prairie Style architecture this is the place to be.

Right downtown.

Plus, check out Mason City's connection with "favorite son" Meredith Wilson and that famous musical, many of whose characters were based in Mason City folk.

The city also has the largest collection of Prairie-Style structures in Iowa, some 33 of them.

Plus, there is the Len Jus  Building with its sheet metal facade  by the Mesker Brothers.
