Cedar Rapids to Seek Landmark Designation for Historic Theater
Historic preservation advocates and city officials push to designate the Third Avenue SE playhouse known as the Strand State Theatre and New World Playhouse as a local landmark. The move would protect the cream colored terra cotta building opened in 1915 and could unlock state historic tax credits to fuel renovations into a 115 to 125 room hotel. Longtime Cedar Rapids historian Mark Stoffer Hunter urged the commission that the building be preserved as a symbol of downtown redevelopment.
