DeMoine House from A Picture Album of the Early History of Des Moines, 1917?
The Polk County Office Building currently stands at First and Walnut. It was constructed in 1910 as a U.S. Post Office. Prior to the post office, other businesses occupied the same plot of land: The DeMoine House, a fashionable hotel, stood there in 1850 and in 1886, George Conradi’s Tavern (below).
