Walking Around Downtown Forest City, Iowa

Eric drove me around Forest City when we visited in July, 2013 because I had a broken ankle.  I am looking forward to a closer look at the city during our morning walk.




I love the details of this
building...

The tile topped turret with
finials; brickwork arches;
rusticated stonework

Spy is playing at the

Forest Theater.

Repairs to this building &
others on Clark Street are
part of a one million dollar
revitalization program.

This patriotic planter sits on

the street corner near the

Family Alliance for Veterans

of America.

A statue of a Union Soldier
in front of the Winnebago
County Courthouse.

Workers are sprucing up

the Bicycle Parking Lot.

The artwork, donated by artists Steve Johnson and Sinnwell are made out of old bike parts.  Bicyclists are welcome to park their bikes here and explore Forest City on foot. 

City Hall is listed on the
Register of Historic Places.

I love the ornamentation on

the Asgaard Building.

Eric and I admire older homes in Forest City.

A beautifully landscaped
Queen Anne Victorian
home

The Mansion Museum, built

in 1899, is a Greek Revival

style home.

Eric prefers the rounded

porch on this Queen Anne.

We enjoy our walk around downtown.  Our 2013 visit barely scratched the surface of this architecturally diverse small city.
