Des Moines Building
Des Moines Building, Art Deco office building in downtown Des Moines, United States.
The Des Moines Building is an Art Deco office structure with 14 stories located downtown. It displays the geometric forms and design details that characterized construction from the 1930s.
The structure was built in 1930 based on designs from the Proudfoot & Bird architecture firm. It gained recognition on the National Register of Historic Places in 2013.
