Anderson House has a history as rich and old as the town where it resides. The original building, which is now the innkeeper's quarters, was constructed as a theater in the mid 1880's by Max Frauenthal. Mr Frauenthal was primarily responsible for the platting and incorporation of the town then named Sugarloaf Springs, later named Heber Springs, Arkansas.
By 1912, the building was being used as a school house, then a doctor's clinic, and finally as the Cleveland Hotel in 1915. In the 1920's the front two-story section was added and it became known as the Hipp Hotel until the early 1940's. A final wing was added in the early 1950's. It has been in continuous operation since that time. An extensive renovation being completed in 1991 by Larry and Sandy Anderson, still residents of Heber Springs.
Your hosts, Terry, Amabilia, and Ingrid Bryant, are proud to be a part of the property's history and are dedicated to making it the best period yet of the Inn's long and useful life.
