Des Moines combines modern growth with a deep respect for its history. Within the city are stunning brick buildings, each with a unique story of determination, creativity, and community pride.

These structures represent more than architecture. They serve as reminders of the events and people that shaped the city.

This article highlights the most iconic brick buildings in Des Moines, sharing the history and significance behind each one.

The Iowa State Capitol, completed in 1886, is an enduring symbol of Iowa’s architectural legacy. Known for its dazzling gold dome, the building’s strength and character lie in its durable red brick construction.

These bricks, hand-laid with exceptional precision, were chosen for their fire resistance and ability to withstand Iowa’s harsh winters. The Capitol’s Renaissance Revival style blends structural resilience with artistic sophistication, making it a testament to the craftsmanship of the era.

Each brick contributes to the building’s symmetrical arches and intricate patterns, reflecting the skilled masonry of the time. For those who admire the Capitol’s timeless aesthetic, old-style brick options are available for modern use. There is a great collection of attractive bricks you can find here to bring a piece of this historical charm into your own projects.
