ABOUT THE NAME
Douglas on First pays tribute to Cedar Rapids’s historic Douglas family. George “Bruce” Douglas moved into the mansion in 1906 and christened it “Brucemore”, and his wife Irene created the famous country estate that exists today.

Douglas on First borders the Brucemore grounds and honors the culture, architecture, and history endowed to Cedar Rapids by this family.
