Burr Oak House/Masters Hotel
Burr Oak House/Masters Hotel, Historic house museum in Burr Oak, Iowa, US.
The Burr Oak House features a one-and-a-half-story wood frame structure with a full-width front porch and raised basement, constructed in 1856.
The Masters Hotel operated from 1851 to 1878, beginning as a log structure before transitioning into a permanent hotel building five years later.
The building holds significance as the residence of Laura Ingalls Wilder during 1876-1877, when her father managed the establishment.
The Laura Ingalls Wilder Museum opens Monday through Saturday from 10 AM to 4 PM and Sundays from noon to 4 PM during summer season.
This structure remains the only pre-1860 building specifically constructed as a hotel still standing in Iowa, maintaining its original location.
