The Fleming Building is a historic building located in downtown Des Moines, Iowa, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002.[1]
Architecture
[edit]The structure is an eleven-story office building that rises 174 feet (53 m) above the ground.[2] The Chicago architectural firm of D.H. Burnham and Company designed the building in the early Commercial style and it was completed in 1909. It is one of the earliest steel-framed buildings in Iowa.[2] Elements of the Beaux-Arts style are found in the building's proportions and details, which is typical of the Burnham Company's work.[2]
