Kingman Gardens

Kingman Gardens is situated in the area originally known as Floral Hill, where the Iowa Seed Company owned a large tract for maintaining greenhouses. Kingman Gardens comprises a Classical Revival brick home built in 1900, later converted to large apartments, and a cluster of four Tudor Revival brick buildings that were constructed as apartments in 1930 in an unusual house-like design. Kingman Gardens is close to Drake University, downtown Des Moines, and the western suburbs.
