Vardy House of Cedar Rapids A Look Back in East Iowa
The Vardy House in Cedar Rapids traced origins to 1842 built by John Vardy, a Virginia native and cabinetmaker. It served as farmhouse and church site, later moved to Bever Park in 1937, with DAR erecting a bronze tablet in 1940, but threats of removal resurfaced by 1941.
