Eastern Iowa buildings on list of Iowa's most endangered sites
One of the buildings on the “most endangered properties” list in Cedar Rapids also has made the statewide listing.
The People’s Bank and Trust Building, known as the Louis Sullivan Bank, 101 Third Ave. SW, was named to the 2012 Most Endangered Properties by Preservation Iowa.
Other Eastern Iowa buildings on the state list, announced Wednesday, include the Wapsipinicon Mill Museum in Independence and the Winneshiek County Home and Farm Caretaker’s House in Decorah.
“Sometimes people are slow to recognize that a building in their community is endangered,” said Sheriffa Jones, vice president of the nonprofit group.
Preservation Iowa receives nominations for the list, which is issued to raise awareness about Iowa’s culturally and historically significant structures that are at risk of being lost, she said.
The Cedar Rapids bank, which operated as Wells Fargo when it was flooded in 2008, is on the National Register of Historic Places, but is in an area designated for the city’s flood protection.
Designed in 1907-1910 by Louis Sullivan, a preeminent Chicago architect who influenced Frank Lloyd Wright and others, the building is an intact example of Sullivan’s jewel box banks.
According to Preservation Iowa, the two-story bank celebrates Sullivan’s passion for detail.
“Fifteen shades of brick were used, reminiscent of an oriental rug,” the group notes. “Four towers project from the first story roof beyond the second story and feature signature Sullivan terra-cotta embellishments.”
Four regional murals inside depict life in the Midwest.
Preservation Iowa describes the six-story Wapsipinicon Mill as “an architectural icon,” whose construction from 1867 to 1870 “without the use of power tools and lifts remains a secret to visitors.”
“To our knowledge, there are no other mills of comparable size and construction in the Midwest,” the group said.
The condition of the mill, which is on the National Register of Historic Places, is described as “very good,” except for a deteriorating roof and rotting adjacent timbers, which threaten additional damage to the building and its historic machinery and displays.
