This was a statewide traveling exhibit in conjunction with the AIA Iowa’s 100-year anniversary. The American Institute of Architects, Iowa Chapter, announced the top 50 Iowa buildings of the 20th century last fall, as part of its centennial celebration. To be considered for the honor, a building had to be in Iowa, still standing and designed by an architect. This juried exhibit, intended to celebrate and inform Iowans of their rich and vibrant architectural heritage, consists of select photographs of the top 50 Iowa buildings including Dubuque’s own Julien Dubuque Bridge and Eagle Point Park Shelters.
