The First Universalist Church of Cedar Rapids, also called the Peoples Church Unitarian Universalist is listed on the

National Register of Historic Places. Built in 1875, it served the Unitarian Universalist community of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, USA, for more than 135 years. Because of the high cost of upkeep and diminishing membership, the congregation voted to sell the building and grounds in May 2010. It was demolished in October 2011.[2]
