Des Moines Register
A group of Des Moines business and civic leaders who were working to transform the Des Moines Social Club into a year-round indoor market has decided to sell the landmark building.
The building, at 900 Mulberry St. in downtown Des Moines, will be put up for sale on Monday. Its future is uncertain, after years of financial turmoil at the Des Moines Social Club, and, recently a failed $7 million plan to reinvent its use. While the campus will be sold, we are grateful to be able to honor the spirit and intent to serve the arts, culture and the community by donating proceeds from the sale to establish the endowment,” said chair Rob Feeney, who is also president and chief operating officer of Atlantic Bottling Company.
