More information on Astor House Museum

Constructed in 1867 by Seth Lake, the Astor House was the first stone hotel built west of the Mississippi River. It provided lodging for the legislators holding meetings in the Loveland Building. The historic hotel also served settlers in need of temporary shelter while moving west across the continent. The house is now listed in the National Register of Historic Places and recently underwent restoration by adding period furnishings.
