Salisbury House was the Tudor, Gothic and Carolean style manorial home of cosmetic magnate Carl Weeks completed in Des Moines, Iowa, United States, in 1928 for over $3 million. Salisbury House is modeled after the King's House in Salisbury, England [1] and has over 42 rooms and measures just over 22,000 square feet.
Salisbury House is now owned by the Salisbury House Foundation and is open to the public for tours, private parties and public events. It is also on the List of Registered Historic Places in Iowa.
