CEDAR RAPIDS — The building formerly occupied by The Bohemian restaurant is now on the market for $990,000.
The historic Maytk building, built in 1893 at 1029 Third St. SE in the heart of the NewBo District, was renovated by owners Mike and Lynette Richards, who bought the building in 1999. As they renovated the building to become a restaurant, they filled the rooms with art, artifacts and antiques from across the country.
Before the flood of 2008, the second floor served as their home while the main level served as a work space and youth art center. Around 2017, they started to convert the 7,800-square-foot building into one business.
