The Syndicate Block, also known as the McCoy Building, is an historic building located in the East Village of Des Moines, Iowa, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2001.[1]
History
The property on which the building stands was originally owned by one of the first settlers in Polk County, Conrad Dietz.[2] Dietz was a German farmer who settled in the area in 1847. He sold one of the lots in 1876 to the proprietors of a hardware store, Entwistle & O’Dea. The rest of the land was leased to shopkeepers and craftsmen. By 1883 there was a row of small wood-frame buildings on the property near the intersection of Fifth and Locust Streets that had the appearance of a small town Main Street. The building currently houses several commercial enterprises.[2]
