Northeast Iowa community is named the state’s ‘River Town of the Year

News

June 2nd, 2023 by Ric Hanson

(Radio Iowa) – The statewide nonprofit group Iowa Rivers Revival has named Dyersville its 2023 “River Town of the Year.” The group’s executive director, Luke Hoffman, says Dyersville met all of their criteria.

The North Fork of the Maquoketa River flows through downtown Dyersville – and while for many years it was viewed by some as an inconvenience due to flooding, the community is now beginning to embrace the river and take steps to improve the riverfront area. Hoffman says the city has changed that with its water plan.

Dyersville Mayor Jeff Jacque says it’s a big honor.

The Bear Creek project was the first, and the second – – a stormwater wetland project on the North Fork just wrapped up. They’re now trying to get funding for the Dyersville Downtown Driftless Float Park project. Mayor Jacque grew up in Dyersville, and says he’s proud to see how his hometown is now embracing the water.

The Dyersville community celebrated their “River Town of the Year” Award during a public ceremony (Wednesday) the Westside Park Pedestrian Bridge.

Weekend home tour highlights mid-century modern architecture in central Iowa

News

June 2nd, 2023 by Ric Hanson

(Radio Iowa) – Four homes in central Iowa that serve as sterling examples of mid-century modern architecture and interior design will be open for tours during a special fundraising event this weekend. Laura Porter, executive director of the Iowa Architectural Foundation, says “Midwest Modern, a Mid-Century Modern Home Tour,” will showcase these four beautiful homes in the Des Moines metro area, all built between 1952 and 1970.

The homes spotlight the iconic lines and materials of the period, she says, including one house with three angled wings and a rounded glass skylight that encircles its attic chimney. The mid-century modern style, Porter says, has a very devoted following.

The home tour event has been held since 2013. Porter says the tours provide inside views of excellent architectural examples of the era, but they also exhibit how to bring mid-century styles to homes of every decade.

She says mid-century homes have not only remained popular for their designs, but they also represent a time of innovation and creativity in architecture. Part of the proceeds from the event will benefit the Iowa Architectural Foundation’s educational programs for children and adults. Two of this year’s featured homes are in Des Moines, with one each in Clive and Windsor Heights. The Sunday tour is sold out.
