*** A Brief History of The Mississippi Hotel ***
Built in 1931. The Hotel Mississippi, was the last large-scale hotel to be built in t
he third phase of hotel construction in downtown Davenport after the Davenport Hotel in 1909 and the Hotel Blackhawk in 1915. Now known as Mississippi Lofts, the building is situated on the site that was occupied by the Davenport Block, a commercial block built by Col. George Davenport, one of the founders of the city of Davenport and its namesake. The developer, George Bechtel, was able to secure the means for the construction of the hotel during the Great Depression. The RKO Orpheum Theater, now known as The Adler Theater, was a 2,700-seat theater that was built at the same time as the hotel, which surrounds the theater to the south and west. It was Iowa's largest movie house. Beside movies, entertainers such as Cary Grant, John Barrymore, Liberace, Ella Fitzgerald and Pearl Bailey performed in the theater live. The Art Deco style is employed throughout the building, including the theater interior. Live in the HEART of Downtown Davenport with fantastic views of the surroundings!
