Offices For Lease in 309 Court Ave, Des Moines

The Saddlery Building was built in 1881 by Mr. J. Rubelman of Muscatine, Iowa. He decided that Des Moines, with its 2 rivers and 13 railways, would be advantageous to his thriving saddler company. He was right, and ran a successful saddle, harness, and leather works company in our building for almost 20 years. Since that time, the building has also been home to a shoemaker, rubber company, stove manufacturer, glove company, the Krispy Kone Company and the Kaplan Hat Company. After the flood of 1993, during which the building housed 19 feet of water, the ground level was left vacant until 1996 when Court Avenue Restaurant & Brewing Company started to move in its brewing equipment. The brew pubs décor celebrates the history of the building and brewing in Iowa.
