Veterans Memorial Building
At one time, the Cedar Rapids City Hall was located in this building, making Cedar Rapids and Paris the only two cities in the world with the seat of government on an island.
The building was extensively damaged in the floods of 2008 and the city was forced to move its offices to the old federal court building.
A 24'x20' stained glass memorial window, designed by Iowa native Grant Wood, was also damaged in the flood. It has been restored and returned to the building.
