The Iowa Memorial Union, or IMU, at University of Iowa opened in 1925. The building currently houses a number of student clubs and the Iowa House Hotel. From City Guide: Iowa City by Jan Weissmiller:

If you exit the north entrance of the English-Philosophy building and cross Iowa Avenue, you can walk along a river path ... that eventually leads to the Iowa House Hotel (125 North Madison Street), where John Cheever and Raymond Carver both lived while they taught at the Workshop in the fall of 1973. No biography of either of them neglects to mention the degenerate drinking they engaged in when they lived there.
