MASONIC BLOCK

Originally built in 1866, the Masonic Block is a historic building in McGregor, Iowa, restored and reimagined after decades of vacancy. This nearly 15,000-square-foot building combines modern functionality with its rich architectural heritage. The street level features revitalized retail spaces that bring new activity to Main Street, while the upper two floors offer modern apartments. Historic architectural details have been preserved, maintaining the building’s character and its connection to the surrounding eastern Iowa bluffs. The renovation respects the historic fabric while introducing modern amenities, universal design features, and all-electric utilities. Through this adaptive reuse, the Masonic Block once again contributes to the vitality of downtown McGregor and its ongoing community revitalization.
