About this property
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 east 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.

The only original interior feature that remains is the shelving against the building's west wall.
