The Iowa Building is a historic structure located in downtown Cedar Rapids, Iowa, United States. It was individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.[1] In 2015 it was included as a contributing property in the Cedar Rapids Central Business District Commercial Historic District.[2]

History

The building is seven stories tall and rises 102 feet (31 m) above the ground.[3] Seven construction workers were killed in 1913 when the top two floors collapsed during construction. The building was completed the following year. It housed a millinery company named the Lyman Company until the building was bought and renamed in 1933.
