The Wheeler Hotel was a historic hotel building at 101 North Main Street in Howard, South Dakota. It is a two-story L-shaped wood-frame structure, built c. 1880 and enlarged about ten years later. The roof line has extended eaves, which are decorated with wooden brackets, and the building sports a neon "Hotel" sign. The building served as a hotel and community center for many years, but was converted to apartments in the 1950s, following a major fire which destroyed the addition. Despite this, much of the interior decoration, particularly of the lobby space, has survived. ^[2]

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985, and was delisted in 2018. ^[1]
