The Elks-Rogers Hotel, also known as Park Hotel of Clear Lake, was a resort hotel in Clear Lake, Iowa built in 1901. It was "a classic piece of late Victorian architecture often found in the trans-Mississippi West." It had brick walls (made of soft brick of the area), fan windows, and a large porch with Doric columns.[2]
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.[1] At the time of its nomination to the National Register, it was the last surviving resort hotel of its era in the state, because the others had been demolished.[2]
This structure has been demolished. A neighboring business location reported that it was torn down in about 1997. A modern brick structure replaced it and is the location for the VFW.
It is still listed in the National Register.
