Home Federal Savings and Loan Association of Des Moines Building

The Home Federal Savings and Loan Association of Des Moines Building, completed in 1962, is a notable example of mid-century modern architecture located in downtown Des Moines, Iowa. Designed by renowned architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, this historic structure features a striking steel-frame and glass design, originally intended to have a suspended roof. After facing potential demolition, it was designated a local landmark and later transformed into the Catholic Pastoral Center. Following a significant renovation from 2016 to 2017, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2017, making it a must-visit site for architecture enthusiasts and history buffs alike.
