Built in 1882, this two story brick building was the first hotel in Big Springs. It served the needs of both the local and traveling public.

The Phelps Hotel Historical Preservation Association was founded in 1998 by a group of local citizens to preserve the hotel and its historical significance. The association works to maintain the building, provide educational programs and promote the history and heritage of the hotel.

The building itself is a unique example of late 19th century architecture, with an ornate Romanesque style. Inside, visitors can tour the 12 rooms on the second floor that were used as bedrooms and the first floor that was used for a restaurant, dance hall and billiard room.
