Princess Sweet Shop (Iowa Falls, Iowa)

The Princess Sweet Shop is a historic Art Deco building in Iowa Falls, Iowa, recognized for its unique Carrara Glass façade and streamlined woodwork, dating back to 1935. Originally opened in 1915 by Greek immigrants, it became a local landmark after a fire in 1934 led to its reconstruction, making it the first air-conditioned building in the area. The shop has been a beloved soda fountain since its inception and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1993, making it a notable stop for tourists and researchers interested in architectural history and local heritage.
