The Des Moines Saddlery Company Building is an historic building located in downtown Des Moines, Iowa, United States. It was built in 1881 by J. Rubelman of Muscatine, Iowa.^[2] He choose to move his operation to Des Moines because of its location on two rivers and the 13 railroads that served the city. Rubelman’s company made saddles, harnesses and leather works for 20 years. In the years since it has housed a shoe maker, rubber company, stove manufacturer, glove company, the Krispy Kone Company and the Kaplan Hat Company.^[2] The later was also the name of the restaurant that was located on the first floor. The building was flooded with 19 feet (6 m) of water during the Des Moines River flood of 1993. The building remained empty until the Court Avenue Restaurant & Brewing Company moved in its equipment. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.^[1]
