620 Scott - Rose Manor

In 1907, the Union of King’s Daughters settlement moved into this specially constructed building in an area of town known as the “Southeast Bottoms.” It housed the first kindergarten on the east side and served as a public wash house, dispensary and free clinic, bank, gymnasium and offered classes in cooking, dressmaking, singing, dramatics and more.

This structure is on the DSMRC 2008 list of Des Moines' Seven Most Endangered Buildings.
