The Historic 'East Village' [1] is a commercial and residential neighborhood in Des Moines, Iowa, United States. It is bounded by Des Moines Street on the north, the Des Moines River on the west, Vine Street on the south, and East 14th Street on the east. The Historic East Village is home to the Iowa State Capitol as well as many buildings on the National Register of Historic Places.
In 2000, the City of Des Moines slated several buildings in the neighborhood for demolition, however, a group of individuals came together to advocate saving the buildings. Many of the structures stand today as homes to hip eateries, boutique shops and loft-style housing.
