Two Downtown Buildings Face Futures Decisions
County supervisors weigh options for the Mott Building at 42 Seventh Ave SW and the O'Brien Building next to the juvenile courts site. The Mott Building a 33,800 square foot former Iowa Windmill & Pump Co warehouse built in 1900 may become residential space or a riverside amphitheater after a $575,000 offer was rejected in 2008. The 9,700 square foot O'Brien Building built circa 1967 could be torn down for parking or retained as storage with a new facade to match the courts, serving as a screen between the courts and nearby railroad tracks and lumberyard.
