Floral Hall (Tipton, Iowa)

Floral Hall is a historic building located at the Cedar County Fairgrounds in Tipton, Iowa, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.[1] The facility was built for use as a floral display area, and has maintained that use.[2] It was built in 1899 and replaced a previous Floral Hall that had occupied the same location. The directors of the Tipton Fair Association determined that its construction would cost approximately $1,000. H.L. Dean, the superintendent of construction, held to that figure. However, while the building was being built it was decided to install a hard-pine floor, which added $250 to its cost.
