Youngerman Block

Youngerman Block is a three-story commercial building in downtown building in Des Moines, Iowa, incorporating Italianate architecture, with later alterations that introduced Art Deco detailing. Built in 1876, the Youngerman Block was designed by architect William Foster (1842-1909) for Conrad Youngerman.
==Conrad Youngerman==
Youngerman was a local builder, born in Wichdorf, Germany in 1833 who had apprenticed as a stonecutter in Germany. Following military service in Germany he emigrated to the United States in 1854 and moving to Iowa with his new wife Meine in 1856. He became a prominent local stonemason, participating in the construction of the original Polk County Courthouse in 1861, and establishing a brickmaking business. Youngerman's materials business expanded into the production of "asbestine," an artificial building stone that could be used in lieu of natural stone, which was expensive and scarce in central Iowa.
Youngerman served three terms as a city alderman and was a trustee of two banks. Two blocks from the present Youngerman Block, Youngerman built another building with the same name, an eight-story building completed in 1891, now demolished. An 1896 account stated that Youngerman "has erected many of the large public business and manufacturing buildings, also many of the fine residences, churches and school-houses of Des Moines...." About the 1891 building it states "In 1890 he erected and still owns the Youngerman Block, a handsome brick block, eight stories in height, 132 feet front on Fifth street and 66 feet on Mulberry street. It contains about 140 business offices." Youngerman died in 1910.〔
