The Wahkonsa Hotel, also known as Wahkonsa Manor, is a historic building located in Fort Dodge, Iowa, United States. It was built by the city's Commercial Club to provide a first-class hotel for the community. The five story, brick, Renaissance Revival-style structure was designed by the prominent Des Moines architectural firm of Liebbe, Nourse & Rasmussen.[2] The building served as a hotel until 1972 when it was converted into apartments for low-income people. It retained the first-floor commercial space, which was original to the building. It was individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2008,[1] and as a contributing property in the Fort Dodge Downtown Historic District in 2010.
