The Continental Hotel is a historic property on the charming town square of Centerville, Iowa. Built in 1866 by Alexander and Susannah McKee as the Jefferson House, The Continental Hotel has a storied past. In 1893, a catastrophic fire burnt the building to the ground. Susannah McKee raced through the hotel to evacuate her guests, but was trapped by the flames herself.
Jumping from a third-story window to the sidewalk below, she was severely injured and died a few weeks later. Rebuilt in 1893, The Continental Hotel went on to host a number of famous historical figures including Booker T. Washington, Carrie Nation, and-reportedly-Jesse James and Al Capone. The Iowa caucuses have brought countless political figures stumping across our steps, including Vice Presidents Joe Biden and Al Gore, First Lady Michelle Obama, and Senator Ted Cruz.
However, there was a time when The Continental Hotel faced an uncertain future. Enter Morgan E. Cline, an advertising executive originally from nearby Exline, Iowa.
