Chautauqua Park Historic District
The Chautauqua Park Historic District is located on the north side of Des Moines, Iowa, United States. It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1990.〔 It is part of the ''Suburban Development in Des Moines Between the World Wars, 1918--1941 MPS''.
==History==
The name Chautauqua Park refers to the Chautauqua assembly grounds that occupied the property from 1896 to around the turn of the 20th century. The assembly hall, which was said to hold 3,000 people, was located at the present intersection of Nash Drive and Chautauqua Parkway. Senators Robert La Follette and Jonathan P. Dolliver as well as Booker T. Washington lectured in the pavilion.
Des Moines University acquired the property after it was no longer used for Chautauqua gatherings. They planned to build a new campus on the site, but financial problems prevented them carrying out their plans. The school merged with Highland Park College in 1918 and later ceased its operations. In 1923 they decided to develop the roughly site as a residential subdivision.〔 Original plans for the subdivision included Douglas Park. The park is and features a heavily wooded hillside. The creek that ran through the park is now mostly dry.
