Maple View Sanitarium

Maple View Sanitarium, also known as Community Hospital, Good Samaritan Nursing Home, and the Fayette County Historical Center, is a historic building located in West Union, Iowa, United States. It was built by Dr. Frank Beach Whitmore in 1903. The facility could accommodate 12 to 15 patients, it had its own operating room, and office. There was also a general store located in the commercial space on the main floor. Because medical care in a hospital was new in the community, it did not succeed and it folded in 1905. Whitmore left to become a missionary in China. The building housed professional offices and retail businesses until 1914 when the Nurses' Benevolent Association under the auspices of the Seventh-day Adventist Church bought the building for a hospital. It was more successful as a hospital the second time, and it was acquired by the city for a community hospital in 1920. After a new hospital building was constructed in 1951, the Good Samaritan Society bought the building for a nursing home. By 1973 changes in state law no longer made operating a nursing home here feasible. The Fayette County Historical Society acquired the building in 1975 for its use, and it operates a local history museum in the building. It was individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998. In 2015 it was included as a contributing property in the West Union Commercial Historic District.

Hotel Mealey

Hotel Mealey, also known as Hotel Iowan, is a historic building located in Oelwein, Iowa, United States. The Chicago Great Western Railway reached Oelwein in 1887, and beginning in 1893 they started to expand their operations in the city. Because they moved their shops here, Oelwein experienced a building boom, including this hotel. St. Paul businessman Michael Mealey, whose son James was a local merchant, was responsible for organizing the hotel. The Chicago architectural firm of Marvel & DeMoney designed the building, and Thomas Fitzpatrick of St. Paul was the contractor. The first three floors of the brick structure were completed in 1898, and the top floor was added in 1916. The Boss hotel chain operated the hotel from 1920 to 1969. The hotel's fortunes began to change in 1964 when the Chicago Great Western and the Chicago and North Western Railroad began a merger, and operations in Oelwein were diminished over time. A major ongoing hotel lease was canceled in 1980 that resulted in the hotel's demise. It was last known as the Hotel Iowan. The building was converted into residential use. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.

Alfred Hanson House

The Alfred Hanson House, also known as the Hanson/McCarthy House, is a historic building located in Oelwein, Iowa, United States. Alfred Hanson was an Oelwein native who was engaged in farming before he moved back to town and became a banker. He had this house built in 1904. The two-story, frame Colonial Revival was designed by Harry E. Netcott of the Independence, Iowa architectural firm of Netcott & Donnan. Its distinctive features include a two-thirds recessed sun porch that was enclosed in 1957, a Palladian window, and an open Portico on the main facade. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.
