Des Moines National Register Historic District Nomination Forms

Categories:

Des Moines has a number federally designated historic districts. Each of them has a unique character and type of historical assets. Nomination to the National Register of Historic Places is an involved process that requires extensive documentation and categorization of the physical structures in the proposed district.

To be considered eligible, a district must meet the National Register Criteria for Evaluation. The evaluation process involves an in-depth examination of the age, integrity, and significance of the structures in the district. The nomination form becomes an excellent source for historical information!

The Des Moines Public Library is building a history wiki with an ever-expanding map of historical places in the city. This map shows the locations of some of the historic districts as well as many of the individually listed places.

The Des Moines Rehabbers Club has posted the nomination forms for most of the historic districts here. We are still attempting to locate copies of the remaining forms. If you notice one missing and have access to it, please use the Contact form to let us know!

Note that some of these files are REALLY big. To download them, please right-click and select "Save Link As" or "Save Target As". The file sizes are in parentheses next to the download link.
