I grew up in des Moines, and this sir, is not a representation of Des Moines!
There would be a chunk of grass outside. And 20 more units identical to this, in a grid. With lots of parking. And no exterior stairs. It gets cold in Iowa!
right on, jbjb. off-base housing for (lower-ranking) commissioned officers. (sorry, as awful as these are, still nicer than non-coms would get.)
i wonder how deep these houses are, bet they’re like 20 feet. i’ve seen lots of ‘3-family ‘ new construction that’s like 500 sq feet per floor. guess they need the space in back for off-street parking. i wonder how much the parking requirements are affecting these design decisions.
Could be in New York, could be in Des Moines…
YOU decide…..
hell, it looks like government housing.
I don’t understand the headline.
doubt it, no details and I’d venture to guess not built to last.
just think in a 100 years folks will be fighting to purchase these historic landmarks..full of detail and so well constructed for their time
I think they are quite unattractive, but one of the most troubling things is that no room was left (from what I can tell) for any sort of garden or trees in the front. A decent garden could do wonders, along with trees lining the sidewalk, for these houses. The same goes for pretty much any development.
Whoops. It’s Hart and Marcy.
