Nestled behind major roadway Grand Avenue on Des Moines' west side is a quaint historic neighborhood - Owl's Head. Spanning only about one square block in size, one would never guess this unassuming enclave would have so many fascinating stories to tell. Owl's Head began as a streetcar suburb not long after Iowa became a state in 1846. The homes were built by notable architects of the time with a focus on style, entertaining, and accommodations for staff. It was a haven where affluential residents could escape their downtown career and enjoy the relaxation of nearby parks. 651 0 $a Des Moines (Iowa) 650 0 $a Architect-designed houses. 650 0 $a Local history. 700 1 $a Vickery, Christine Guzzo, $e author. 941 $a 2 952 $l BRPD251 $d 20240119020638.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20210911010239.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=87662E8C12C511EC9889D91B53ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
