Rainbow House converts drug-inflamed duplex into bold Cedar Rapids symbol
Cedar Rapids renovator Eric Gutschmidt repainted an Eighth Avenue duplex in purple, blue, green, yellow, orange, red, brown and black to symbolize diversity and inclusion. The project, dubbed Rainbow House, modernizes one unit with a full bath and kitchen while the other awaits completion. Rentals and event space may be offered, with access to local suppliers and a plan to keep the property up to code for decades.
