620 Scott - Rose ManorIn 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.  |

Save this building
I went to preschool when it was roadside Settlement. I am now 47 years old. I would love to see it saved and renovated and be a historically place in Iowa. I do not think it should be appartemtns but maybe a museum of some sort where people can come back and see it again.
