Kuhl House (University of Iowa Press)
119 Park Rd, Iowa City, IA 52242
Across the river from North Hall is 100 Kuhl House, home, since 1997, to the University of Iowa Press. Built of limestone from the river cliffs in the area, it is one of the oldest buildings in Iowa City. Inside are shelves upon shelves of the books director James McCoy and his talented staff have published. I am, of course, partial to the poetry series, which includes writing by some of the best poets around: Michele Glazer, Robyn Schiff, Emily Wilson, Susan Wheeler, and Cole Swensen, among them. The Sightline Books series in nonfiction is also remarkable. We at Prairie Lights are waiting with bated breath for July 25 when Carl Klaus and Ned Stuckey-French are scheduled to read from their stunning newly released collection, Essayists on the Essay.

Quadrangle Dormitory
310 GRAND AVENUE IOWA CITY, IA 52242
Now demolished, the Quadrangle Residence Hall was an example of Collegiate Gothic, as are most of the other early buildings west of the river. Originally a closed quadrangle with four entry pavilions — one in the middle of each side — it was reduced to about two-thirds its original size when the disused northeast quadrant was razed in 1975.
