Brucemore
A delightful Queen Anne-style house, Brucemore is the focal point of a magnificent 26-acre park-like estate in the heart of Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Tours of the 21-room mansion provide a glimpse of the privileged life of another time. Interiors feature a Wagnerian mural, rich woodwork and a magnificent pipe organ. Built in the 1880s, Brucemore has been home to three prominent familes who used the estate as a center for culture and the arts.
