This is a picture taken of the GAR (Grand Army of the Republic) building, which served as a meeting site for veterans of the Civil War from 1885 until 1890. Veterans that served under the 33rd Iowa Regiment would most likely have utilized this building the most, because many veterans from the 33rd were residents of Mahaska County at the onset of the Civil War and went on to serve for the Union.
