After the worst flood to hit central Iowa in decades, this building was flooded and left without utilities.

The building owner walked away from it, leaving the tenants - mostly low-income or elderly - no options other than to move themselves out or stay and squat in a building with no electricity, central air, or running water.

In November, the building manager (a former tenant) locked the doors, forcing about a dozen squatters out. It now has a new owner and we are in the process of completing necessary repairs to get it up and running again.

It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Some water damage, which will inevitable become worse as the building thaws out in the spring.
