About the Property
This remarkable building at 218 6th Avenue is not just a piece of Des Moines’ history; it’s a testament to early 20th-century architectural innovation. Designed by Daniel Burnham, a titan of American architecture, the Fleming Building stands as a monument to his visionary approach. Burnham, renowned for his role in shaping the 1893 World’s Columbian Exposition in Chicago and designing iconic structures like the Flatiron Building in NYC and Union Stations in several major cities, brought his unique blend of Neoclassical and Chicago School architectural styles to life in the Fleming Building. Completed in 1909, the Fleming Building was one of the first in Iowa to employ a steel structural system, symbolizing the dawn of the ‘skyscraper era’. Its design late in Burnham’s career showcases his matured vision, combining both aesthetic appeal and functional design. The building’s inclusion on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002 underlines its significance in the architectural landscape of the United States.
