Cedar Rapids debates Bauhaus claim on Public Works Facility
Cedar Rapids City Council reconsiders demolition of the 1201 Sixth St. SW Public Works Facility after architect Roy Neumann challenges its Bauhaus designation. He argues features are ornamental or deco and not Bauhaus, while preservationists and council members weigh saving the curved front corner as a potential feature for the new facility. Construction planned to start this summer for a two year project.
