About Our Spaces

PUBLIC SPACE ONE stewards land containing three historic houses (and one newer garage) near downtown Iowa City. We are working to preserve these structures through adaptive reuse, transforming what were originally residences into accessible and welcoming spaces for art and community.

Here you can learn more about the history of the buildings, our facilities projects, and opportunities to learn and get involved!

Learn more about our historic preservation work in this video produced for the 2022 Iowa City Historic Preservation Awards.
