The building was completed in 1929, and it opened as a "showcase hotel."[2] In 1948, Paul "Pinkie" George and five other wrestling promoters from the Midwest founded the National Wrestling Alliance in the hotel. The manager of the hotel at the time was Lark Gable, the grandfather of Olympic gold medal winner Dan Gable.[3] Various companies owned and operated the hotel until it was acquired in 1968 by Elders Inc., a nonprofit group of churches. They converted the building into subsidized housing. It was bought by local developers Brent Dahlstrom and Jim Sulentic in 2011 and they sold it to Huntley Witmer Development of Los Angeles. Huntley Witmer spent $12 million in 2015 renovating the building that continues to house 84 units of federally subsidized housing.[2] It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2017.[1] References1. ^1 {{cite web|url=https://www.nps.gov/nr/listings/20170512.htm|title=National Register of Historic Places Program: Weekly List|publisher=National Park Service|accessdate=2017-11-13|author=}} {{National Register of Historic Places}}{{NRHP in Black Hawk County, Iowa}}{{Iowa-NRHP-stub}}{{Iowa-struct-stub}}2. ^1 {{cite news|url=http://wcfcourier.com/news/local/looking-presidential-waterloo-hotel-renovation-nears-completion/article_29b85faa-2436-54ba-95dc-44065cf2cf9d.html|title=Looking Presidential: Waterloo hotel renovation nears completion|publisher=The Waterloo-Cedar Falls Courier|location=Waterloo-Cedar Falls|date=November 27, 2015|accessdate=2017-11-13|author=Pat Kinney}} 3. ^{{cite news|url=http://wcfcourier.com/news/local/looking-presidential-waterloo-hotel-renovation-nears-completion/article_29b85faa-2436-54ba-95dc-44065cf2cf9d.html|title=The President and Wrestling|publisher=The Waterloo-Cedar Falls Courier|location=Waterloo-Cedar Falls|date=November 27, 2015|accessdate=2017-11-13|author=Pat Kinney}} 4 : Hotel buildings completed in 1929|Buildings and structures in Waterloo, Iowa|National Register of Historic Places in Black Hawk County, Iowa|Hotel buildings on the National Register of Historic Places in Iowa |
