The Des Moines Rehabbers Club is looking for nominations of the community’s “most endangered buildings.” Individuals, neighborhood groups, or businesses may submit their suggestions.

Eligible for nomination are buildings in danger of demolition, or which are suffering from neglect, but are not so far gone that they are beyond repair or rehabilitation. Endangered buildings could be residential or commercial (or public) buildings, and may be of any size.

Nominating forms are available on the Rebabbers’ website and are due by September 22.

The seven most endangered buildings will be announced by the group in mid-October.  The organization holds monthly meetings and aspires to “promote neighborhood revitalization and restoration of Des Moines’ unique building stock by informing, educating, inspiring, and supporting each other in all phases of home renovation and maintenance.”
