#CedaRound: Bever Building

Cedar Rapids’ 1923 Colonial Revival Bever Building is slated for demolition in the coming months in the name of PROGRESS! and I swear on all things good and holy if it’s replaced by a lazy box of drywall I will sneak out in the dead of night and pee on the door handles. Do something bold and thoughtful and imaginative and aesthetically responsible, architects, or spend the rest of your lives carrying Purell in your pockets.

Anyway! Here are some final glimpses of the building and its iconic doorway lions and oops is that a lion selfie for those of us who will miss it on our trips down First Avenue:
