The Bowery Street Grocery Store, also known as Helmer's Grocery and as the New Pioneer Food Cooperative, is a historic building located on the far west side of Iowa City, Iowa, United States. The building's construction is consistent with those built in the mid-19th century. The single-story wood-frame structure with the false front was a popular commercial style building that was built in Iowa from that time period.[2] Beginning about 1897 the city directory lists this location as a meat market and grocery store. It would continue to house that type of business, under a variety of owners or renters until 1975. In addition to a retail establishment, it also served as a meeting place for people in the neighborhood. The New Pioneer Food Cooperative was last grocery to occupy the space until is relocated to a larger facility. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2014.[1]
