Matthew 25 moves toward commercial Hosmer Building in Cedar Rapids
The nonprofit Matthew 25 plans to market the Hosmer Building at 604 Ellis Blvd NW for a future coffee shop or cafe. Built in 1920 and bought in 2016 for $96,000, the 2,560 square foot site has housed a grocery, bars, and a salon as neighborhood redevelopment continues along Ellis Boulevard post flood.
