The Jewell Apartments is a historic building located in Mason City, Iowa, United States. Completed in 1917 by local contractor Fred Lippert, this apartment building is two C-shaped buildings joined together.

Lippert may have also designed the building. ^[2] Its Prairie School design creates a harmonious unity for this urban housing structure. ^[3] The exterior of the two-story building features brick on the lower two-thirds and stucco on the upper third. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980. ^[1]
