Preservation push blocks demolition of Cedar Rapids mansion
Cedar Rapids preservationists urged against razing the 1885 Clark family mansion at 824 Third Ave SE to make way for Physicians' Clinic of Iowa expansion. A 60 day hold was placed on the demolition requests by UnityPoint Health St Luke's Hospital and the MedQuarter District as planners seek to move or document the house while PCI proceeds with an $80 million project and a 540 space parking ramp.

Demolition Proposals Split Cedar Rapids MedQuarter Plan
The Historic Preservation Commission weighs two demolition requests in Cedar Rapids. A two story 824 Third Ave. SE residence would yield space for a PCI parking ramp at 275 10th St. SE, while the 800 Third Ave. SE Sinclair gas station would be removed to create a pocket park. PCI says land costs blocked ramp site acquisition and cites undermaintained buildings. The gas station sits in Automobile Row Historic District and would become green space with benches and shrubs to fit the MedQuarter district’s needs. Comments line listed.
