History
The house stood empty after Sherman's death in January 1904. It briefly served as the first location of Mercy Hospital in Des Moines. In 1907 it became the clubhouse of the Des Moines Women's Club. The Club added an art gallery, the first public art museum in the city. In 1923, a 1400-seat auditorium was completed for Club programs.[2]
In 1995, the Hoyt Sherman Place Foundation was founded by the Des Moines Women's Club. Ownership of the house and all art and artifacts contained in it were given to the foundation by the Des Moines Women's Club. The Club also provided an endowment, which was increased by the sale of the painting To the Memory of Cole by Frederic Edwin Church.[3][4] In 2017 the Hoyt Sherman Place Foundation completed restoration of all major paintings in the collection.[5]
The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1977. In 2015 Hoyt Sherman Place was inducted into the Iowa Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
