The Hotel Kirkwood, also known as the Kirkwood Civic Center Hotel, is a historic building located in downtown Des Moines, Iowa, United States.

It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2003. The building has subsequently been converted into an apartment building called "The Kirkwood."

The Grand Auditorium and Hotel Block is a group of four adjoining historic commercial buildings located in Story City, Iowa, United States. From the east, buildings one and three housed various commercial establishments over the years. Building two housed the Grand Opera House, now known as the Story Theatre/Grand Opera House. It has been used for both live theater productions and movies. The fourth building housed the Grand Hotel. The Grand Hotel and Auditorium Company was organized from Story City's Commercial Club in 1913. They hired Estherville, Iowa architect James S. Cox to design the complex, which was completed in December 1913. While each facade is unique, all four buildings share common elements. Their commonalities include two stories in height, red-brick exterior walls ornamented with buff brick and concrete details. The first three buildings share the same wall plane, while the hotel is slightly recessed from the others. They also decrease in scale from east to west. This slight variation is due to differing treatments of the cornices and parapets. The buildings were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.

The Budde–Singer Building features round arched windows with brick patterned hoodmolds on the second and third floors, and a bracketed wooden cornice. The first floor storefront has been somewhat altered, and the exterior of the building has been painted since about 1909. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991.

The Dr. Luther L. and Susette E. (Baker) Pease House is a historic building located in Mount Vernon, Iowa, United States. It is significant for its association with the settlement of the city that was influenced by the establishment of the Military Road, its use of locally made brick and locally quarried limestone, and its vernacular architectural techniques. Located at the intersection of the Military Road and the Cedar Rapids Road, it is thought this house was constructed in two parts. The front gable section on the right may have been built by the Albright brothers in the 1850s. They owned one of the early brickyards in town and built several houses. The side-gabled section on the left is believed to have been built after Dr. Pease bought the property in 1866. It was built using bricks from the G.W. Robinson brickyard, the main brick and lime manufacturer in Mount Vernon at the time. Pease was a prominent physician in town and served as the city's first mayor. The two-story brick house features mid-19th century stylistic influences. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2020.
