    Architecture of Downtown Des Moines: Some Highlights from the Twentieth Century and Beyond

She is a graduate of the Cooperstown Museum Studies program and the architectural history program at the University of Virginia. Paula is the local co-chair for FORUM 2018. Architecture of Downtown Des Moines: Some Highlights from the Twentieth Century and Beyond By Paula Mohr In its 170-some years, the evolution of Des Moines’ commercial core has paral- leled that of many American cities. Fort Des Moines, an early foothold in terms of Euro-American settlement, today survives only as an archaeological site. Early commercial buildings of wood frame on both the east and west sides of the Des Moines River were replaced with brick later in the nineteenth century. At the turn of the twentieth century another wave of development introduced tall buildings or skyscrapers. In the midst of all this change, we can see the impact of external forces, including architectural ideas from Chicago, the City Beautiful Movement and the contributions of nationally and internationally renowned architects. The “book” on Des Moines’ architecture is still being written. As a result of this constant renewal and rebuild- Youngerman Block (1876), also by Foster, features ing, only a handful of nineteenth century buildings a façade of “Abestine Stone,” a nineteenth-century survive in Des Moines’ downtown.
