WHAT WAS THE DRY RUN SEWER BANQUET?
“The then-newly built Dry Run sewer served as a banquet hall in October of 1903. In the underground chamber, 450 guests -- the women in high heels and richly embroidered gowns -- filed down a ready-made stairway in a block-long section of the sewer between Wellington and Randolph Streets. Many of the guests were representatives of State of Iowa or city officials who were holding a convention in Waterloo. The $100,000 sewer project provided an underground conduit between the marsh and the Cedar River.” (Waterloo Cedar Falls Courier)
