National Biscuit Company Building
National Biscuit Company Building, Neoclassical industrial building in Des Moines, United States.
The National Biscuit Company Building features a heavy timber and masonry construction with four stories and symmetrical architectural elements throughout its structure.
Built in 1906, this facility initially served as a production center for the National Biscuit Company until 1940, ranking as the third largest sales territory.
The structure represents the evolution of American industrial architecture and has transformed from a biscuit factory into residential apartments through adaptive reuse.
Located in downtown Des Moines, the building contains 54 apartment units following its 1995 renovation from its former industrial purpose.
This facility was among select locations manufacturing Uneeda Biscuits and remained one of three factories producing corn crackers during the mid-1920s.
