The Tookes House, also known as the Tookes Hotel, is a historic 11-bedroom home located at 412 West Virginia Street in Tallahassee, Florida. Added to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places on January 26, 2001, it was founded in 1948 by Dorothy Nash Tookes to provide lodging for black visitors who were unable to stay at segregated establishments.

Originally established with four rooms and later expanded to accommodate more guests, Tookes House holds significance as a place of accommodation with a rich history tied to the civil rights era in Leon County. The property stands as a testament to the legacy of Dorothy Nash Tookes, the first certified teacher in the county and the visionary behind this historic establishment.
