Iowa Building

The Iowa Building, a historic seven-story structure in downtown Cedar Rapids, Iowa, is notable for its inclusion on the National Register of Historic Places since 1983 and as part of the Cedar Rapids Central Business District Commercial Historic District since 2015. Completed in 1914 after a tragic construction accident that claimed the lives of seven workers, the building originally housed the Lyman Company, a millinery business, before being renamed in 1933. Its rich history and architectural significance make it an interesting site for tourists and researchers alike.
