Main Street Grill
and Whitney Inn is rich in history.


Present-day Owners
Leslie Becker and daughter, Savannah Jo
reside in the Whitney Inn.

Leslie, along with family members and
friends, have spent countless hours
refurbishing and recreating
the atmosphere
 that has been associated
with this building over the years.

You are invited to come join them
as they celebrate the rekindling
of its beauty and charm..

NOTE:  Main Street Grill is a
SMOKE-FREE facility.


The year 1855 brought the plotting out of main street  Atlantic.  Thirteen years later, in 1868, Franklin Whitney purchased the land
on which the hotel stands today.

Just two years later, in 1870, the land switched ownership to J. H. Needles
and J. A. McWade.
In 1889 they constructed a
two-story building which

housed the local  harness factory and John Deere implement dealership.

In 1930, Needles sold the building to the Atlantic Hotel Corporation, headed by Edward A. Boss.  A third floor was added
and in 1931 the Boss Hotel opened.

The '50s saw the hotel change hands and was renamed the Whitney Motor Inn.

From a family retirement community
and gift shop in 1979
(owned and operated by Duane Becker, father of the present day owner),
to a restaurant in the early 1990's
(Chestnut Tree Cafe),
 to it's present ownership,
Main Street Grill
and Whitney Inn has become
a beloved landmark, not only in its
hometown of Atlantic, Iowa,
but throughout the surrounding area.
