The organization’s first project, the renovation of the 1909 East Des Moines Union Depot, located at 120 E. Fifth Street in Des Moines’ Historic East Village, transformed the site into a versatile event space. The Trust also releases the Seven Most Endangered Buildings List every May, in honor of National Historic Preservation Month.
