Riverview Park Plat Historic District, Historic district in Des Moines, United States

The Riverview Park Plat Historic District covers 11 acres in north-central Des Moines, featuring Queen Anne and Colonial Revival architectural styles along Arlington Avenue.

The Riverview Park Company acquired two land tracts from Wesley and Anne Redhead in 1886 for $12,500, initiating residential development in Des Moines.

The neighborhood established residential covenants requiring property owners to first offer their properties to existing investors before public listing.

The district includes numerous houses designed by notable architectural firms such as Liebbe, Nourse & Rasmussen, demonstrating different construction periods.

Civil engineer Frank Pelton designed Arlington Avenue following the Des Moines River curves, making it wider than other streets of that period.
