The Landmark
Inn
A bed and breakfast
in the Historic Bank of Oberlin, Kansas
Step back to
the late 1800's. Imagine a Victorian world set in a bustling frontier town,
home to the United States Land Office. Hundreds came each day looking for a
new home. In 1886 their first night's stay would have been at the Oberlin House,
the St. James or other inns that rivaled 
their
counterparts to the east. After claiming their 160 acres of Kansas prairie they
were off to the brand new "Bank of Oberlin" to set up their banking
business in their new hometown. Of the Bank of Oberlin's completion, the Oberlin
Eye (Sept.23,1886) said "...It is the prettiest building in the city and
elicits words of praise from the many who see the city. Such buildings, beautiful,
permanent, and durable are of incalculable value to Oberlin....And strengthen
the onward march of the Queen City of Northwest Kansas."
The charm experienced in 1886 can once again be captured in the new "LandMark Inn at the historic Bank of Oberlin" opened in downtown Oberlin in 1996 . Listed on the National Register of Historic places, the bank has "re-opened" as a gathering place for local citizens and the traveler looking for a quiet getaway, meeting spot or reunion.
The
Inn occupies the Bank of Oberlin building built in 1886, the Reeder Building
built in 1888 and the new Carriage House Addition. The name of the inn was derived
from two important events that helped shape Oberlin in the late 1800's - The
location of the U.S. Land Office and the arrival of R.A. Marks who founded the
Bank of Oberlin. The LandMark Inn offers seven guest suites; The Teller Room
Restaurant & Coffee Bar and a vintage exercise room with turn of the century
equipment to challenge the Inn's guests, a sauna, and a unique gift shop called
The Oberlin Mercantile Co. Here's more about the inn's rooms
and services.
Suite rates range from $69.95-$95.50. Based on single occupancy, private bath.
Includes full breakfast.
