Walter Goeppinger was the founder of the Iowa Corn Grower's Association.
Back in the day, when the Goeppinger family owned this building, Suite 220 was a part of the Goeppinger offices.
It is with great pride that we have personally come to know Neil and
Ginny Goeppinger, pictured here. They have provided a significant amount of historical information about Goeppinger
building.
Future plans for the Goeppinger Building include listing the building

This building has turn-of-the century architectural appeal.
The main door, made of solid oak and beveled glass, opens into the first floor foyer. The foyer floor
is the original terrazzo. The original brass mail center for the building has been restored to its original state.
The grand open staircase and second floor banister are quite amazing. The staircase is marble.
The handrail going up the stairs is oak and an oak banister encircles the entire stair opening on the second floor. The
doors on the second floor are oak with florentine art glass windows. The woodwork is in wonderful condition
for a building of this age.
The marble staircase, the oak handrail and the wrought
iron posts have great architectural appeal.
