Norman Apartment Building

The Norman Apartment Building is a historic building located in Des Moines, Iowa, United States. This three-story brick structure was the first of five apartment buildings, housing 60 families, that Drake University planned to build near its campus. They would be controlled by the university's board of trustees. The Norman and the more modest McCoy Apartments were the only two buildings constructed. The building features two shades of tan brick, a considerable amount of Gothic Revival limestone trim, a Tudor arched entry, medieval lettering on a name plaque between the second and third floors, and ogee arches on some windows. The building's significance is related to the "University's growth and development and the effect its financial policies had on nearby settlement."

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988. References
Hawkeye Insurance Company Building

The Hawkeye Insurance Company Building is a historic building located in Des Moines, Iowa, United States. Completed in 1869, the building housed the first successful casualty insurance company in the city, which grew to be the largest center for insurance companies outside of the east coast. Prominent local architect William Foster designed the building, and it may be the oldest surviving example of his work. It is also the oldest commercial building in the downtown area that maintains its original integrity. The three-story brick commercial block was designed to be the first part of a larger complex. The Italianate style building features a bracketed cornice and tall thin hooded windows. A two-story annex was completed two years later to the north. Two more three-story sections were completed before 1883. Another prominent Des Moines architectural firm, Proudfoot, Bird and Rawson, converted the building into a hotel in 1913. The original cornice was significantly altered, and the raised basement was eliminated at that time. The building was later converted into an apartment building in the 1960s. In the 1980s, the cornice was restored. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986. References
Homestead Building

The Homestead Building, also known as the Martin Hotel, is a historic building in Des Moines, Iowa, United States. Designed by the Des Moines architectural firm of Smith & Gage, it was built in two stages. The eastern one-third was completed in 1893 and the western two-thirds were completed in 1905. It is one of a few late-19th-century commercial/industrial buildings that remain in the downtown area. The building was built for James M. Pierce for his publishing operation, which included the Iowa Homestead, a pioneer publication of modern agricultural journalism. Prior to Pierce, the Iowa Homestead publisher was Henry Wallace, the father of Agriculture Secretary Henry C. Wallace, and grandfather of U.S. Vice President Henry A. Wallace. "Through the efforts of Pierce and Wallace the Iowa Homestead became known for its promotion of the rotation of crops, the use of better seed, the value of more and better livestock, the importance of an attractive home and a good home life, the value of farmers banding together to protect common interests, and the care of the soil and conservation of its resources." The four-story brick commercial block has strong Richardsonian Romanesque qualities. The east and south elevations have hard, face brick in two shades of red given the two construction dates. The north and west elevations have common brick. Each series of arched windows on the third floor is accented with corbeled bands of brick and capped with a dentate cornice. There is also dentate cornice and parapet wall at the top of the east and south elevations, and a flat roof that caps the building. It was converted into a hotel in 1916, and two storefronts were added either in the 1940s or the 1950s. The original arched entrance on the east elevation was also removed. The storefronts have subsequently been removed, and the building now houses offices. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. References
St. Augustin Catholic Church (Des Moines, Iowa)

St. Augustin Catholic Church is a Catholic parish in the Diocese of Des Moines located on the west side of Des Moines, Iowa, United States. It was included as a contributing property in the Greenwood Park Plats Historic District and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2013. History The parish began when 12 parishioners from St. Ambrose Cathedral petitioned Bishop Thomas Drumm for a new west side parish in 1920. He assigned the Rev. John Noonan as the founding pastor, and a part of the former Iowa State Fairgrounds property on Grand Avenue was acquired for $20,000. The prominent Boston architectural firm Maginnis & Walsh, who were known for their ecclesiastical work, designed the new parish church. It was built for about for $100,000, and it was dedicated on February 3, 1924. The stained glass windows were added in 1935. The parish paid off its debt of $293,000 and it was consecrated by Bishop Gerald Bergan in 1947. A parish school was established and a seven-room school building was completed further to the west on Grand Avenue in 1926. The school was staffed by the Adrian Dominican Sisters. The rectory was added to the church in 1928. A new school building was completed during the pastorate of Msgr. Gerald Walker (1948-1981). The parking lot was enlarged in 1951 when the city discontinued street parking, and a residence at 4111 Grand Avenue was removed around this time. The church complex was enlarged in 1985, 1989, and in 1998. The parking lot and the school building were expanded during the pastorate of Msgr. Frank Bognanno (1990-2000). Architecture The church is English Gothic in style, and it is dominated by a large square tower located at the crossing. The tower is similar in design to the Plymouth United Church of Christ immediately to the north. The church complex is a brick structure with Bedford stone trim, and a red flat-tile roof. The stained glass windows are the work of Charles Jay Connick of Boston. School The parish hosts the K-8 school St. Augustin School, which first opened in 1926.

West Chester (Chamberlain Mansion, Des Moines, Iowa)

Chamberlain House, also known as the West Chester and Wesley on Grand, is a historic building located in Des Moines, Iowa, United States. Designed by Boston architect William George Rantoul, it is considered an excellent example of Jacobethan Revival architecture in the city. It was featured in a couple of publications after its completion. The inspiration for the house's design were the half timbered homes in Chester, England. It features five gables and dormers on the main facade that rise above the ridged roofline and three tall chimneys with separate shafts for each flue. There are two gabled wings on the south elevation of the house. The second floor has six bed & breakfast rooms. Original owner David S. Chamberlain's brother Lowell Chamberlain moved his patent medicine business to Des Moines in 1881, and it grew to become one of the five largest pharmaceutical and toiletry manufacturing firms in the United States. Chamberlain lived in a farmhouse on the property when this house was built from 1901 to 1903. Chamberlain built the D.S. Chamberlain Building in downtown Des Moines, Iowa as a speculative venture in 1917. Chamberlain also built the Chamberlain Hotel located at 7th and Locust Streets in downtown Des Moines. The hotel was built on the former site of Plymouth Church, Des Moines, Iowa. The hotel occupied the south side of the site of the current Ruan Center. According to a divorce settlement reported in the Iowa Bystander, "The Chamberlain hotel, recently erected at a cost of $300,000 becomes the property of Mrs. Chamberlain upon the payment of her of about $2500." Later occupants In 1947, five retired Methodist Clergy couples moved into the home and the South Iowa Methodist Conference established Wesley Acres, Inc. as a faith inspired, not-for-profit, mission to serve older adults. The front yard, drive and the house are what remain of the estate. The rest is taken up by newer construction including the Wesley Life campus. The house is currently used as a pub and a bed and breakfast. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984. References

Seth Richards Commercial Block

The Seth Richards Commercial Block, also known as the Lederer-Strauss Building, is a historic building located in downtown Des Moines, Iowa, United States. Its construction represents the transition of Court Avenue from a retail center to the city's wholesale district. Seth Richards had acquired the property that had been the location of several business houses. One of the lots had been owned by the Independent Order of Odd Fellows. The four-story brick Romanesque Revival building was constructed in two parts. The commercial blocks at 300-302 and 304-306 were completed and occupied in 1890, and 308-310 was completed and occupied by 1897. Various wholesale clothing firms occupied the various blocks, but by 1920 Lederer, Strauss & Co., Inc., a millinery fabricator and wholesaler, occupied the entire building. The family-run business was sold in 1944 to the Hiersteiners, who incorporated the business as the Landsco Millinery Co. The business was scaled back, and they occupied less of the block, which was filled with other wholesalers by the mid-1950s. In 1957 the Landsco Millinery Co. was liquidated. The building has been converted for other retail uses in the Court Avenue Entertainment District after this area ceased being a wholesale center. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2005. References
Alden Bridge

The Alden Bridge is a historic bridge in Alden, Iowa, which carries the town's Main Street over the Iowa River, United States. The concrete bridge is 150 feet (46 m) long and consists of two spans.
