Wilson Building (Clinton, Iowa)

The Wilson Building, a historic structure in downtown Clinton, Iowa, is notable for its Chicago School architectural style, designed by the local firm John Morrell & Son and constructed between 1912 and 1914. Once home to a J. C. Penney store and a Walgreens, the building has undergone significant renovations, including a conversion into 33 apartments expected to be completed in mid-2022. Standing at six stories tall, it is the tallest building in Clinton, featuring a striking white terra cotta exterior with a richly textured and ornamented façade. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2014, making it a point of interest for both tourists and researchers exploring the architectural history of the area.
