Union Block (Mount Pleasant, Iowa)
The Union Block of Mount Pleasant, Iowa was built by William McCandless in 1861. Historically it was used as offices and by the county courts. In the Union Block in 1869, Arabella A. Mansfield became the first woman in the United States awarded a license to practice law. The third floor housed the Opera House or Union Hall, a gathering place for the community. Early supporters of women's rights and civil rights spoke there, including Frederick Douglass, Bronson Alcott, Anna Dickinson, and possibly Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton.〔Preservation Iowa, 2008 Most Endangered Properties, http://www.preservationiowa.org/programs/endangeredArchive.php?endangered_year=2008〕
Preservation Iowa had listed Union Block on its most endangered buildings list because of its poor condition and lack of preservation plan. The building was badly damaged by an early morning fire on Jan. 25, 2011.
==Preservation Campaign & Restoration==
The Union Block Revitalization Committee was formed to raise awareness and funds for the restoration of the Union Block.〔Union Block Revitalization Committee, http://www.savetheunionblock.com/index.html〕 Money was raised by the people in the community and the building was renovated. It reopened in August of 2014 housing businesses on the first and second floors. The ballroom was restored and updated on the third floor making it a beautiful hall used for a variety of community gatherings, events, and private parties.
