The New Lawn is a historic building located in Des Moines, Iowa, United States. This three-story, brick structure was completed in 1915. It features seven units, an U-shaped plan, a symmetrical facade with projecting wings, polychrome brick veneer, a series of quadruple ribbon windows, and a flat roof.^[2] The building is located on Sixth Avenue, which by the turn of the 20th century had become a major route utilzed by vehicular traffic and streetcar lines. Its proximity to this transportation corridor illustrates the emergence of higher and denser residential use in this area of Des Moines.^[2] The apartment building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996.^[1]
