Bricker-Price Block

Bricker-Price Block Community Event & Rental Venue Located in Madison County, Iowa, in the small town of Earlham, the Bricker-Price Block (consisting of C.D. Chestnut Ave.

Bricker Building, 115 S. on the south, and W. Price Building, 105 S. on the north) has a unified façade and a shared front central staircase and shared interior central stair landing on the second floor. The Bricker-Price Block occupies the prominent southwest corner at the intersection of First Street and Chestnut Avenue in the Earlham central business district, located on two-thirds of a subdivi

ded building lot. Built in 1900 to house the C.D. Bricker grocery and general store business and leased commercial space in the W.P. Price Building, with second-floor offices above each, the Bricker-Price Block also includes a 1919 one-story rear warehouse addition to the Bricker Building. These two adjoining but separately owned buildings were built at the same time by the same builder with a unified façade and matching cast-iron storefronts, and thus the two buildings are jointly known historically as the Bricker-Price Block.

Senior Speaker Series: Week 1️⃣3️⃣ of 1️⃣4️⃣

This Friday (5/29) at 10 AM, we will step back into Madison County’s forgotten past! Discover the towns that once dotted the county landscape but have since vanished from the map. Using historical maps, newspaper archives, firsthand accounts, and county records, The 29th State brings these lost communities back to life, sharing where they were, how they grew, and what caused their disappearance. Explore forgotten town names, early businesses, post offices, and the stories of the people who once called these places home.

Thank you to our spring series sponsor, The Stuart Community Care Center & The Willows, for making programs like this possible for our senior adult community!
