I was in Iowa City earlier this week (attending a conference). Late one afternoon, I took a walking tour of downtown, and parts of the University of Iowa campus.
The campus is on both sides of the Iowa River (below).
I just loved the look of the old Hotel Jefferson (above and below).
The folks in Iowa City have done a great job maintaining the beautiful old buildings there.
They’ve even blocked off one of the old downtown streets and created a pedestrian mall. It reminded me a bit of State Street in Madison.
Thanks for sharing the Iowa City views. Was the one bldg a chapel? a school house? Looks like a great spot for a campus.
That’s the Danforth Chapel. I believe Iowa University uses it for special events, meeting space, and it’s also available for rent. It’s in a real nice setting, very park like, with the river being behind me as I photographed it.
HOpe you got my email, requesting to use your photos for my webpage. You have some wonderful pictures of Iowa City, in fact, the best I could find! joan
