The Wahkonsa Hotel in Fort Dodge, Iowa, is a five-story brick Renaissance Revival structure designed by the Des Moines architectural firm Liebbe, Nourse & Rasmussen. Built by the city's Commercial Club as a first-class hotel, the building features original ground-floor commercial space and served its intended purpose until 1972, when it was converted into low-income apartments. Listed individually on the National Register of Historic Places in 2008 and designated a contributing property in the Fort Dodge Downtown Historic District in 2010, the hotel remains a significant example of early-twentieth-century civic and commercial architecture.
