Such visitors may help themselves to a fresh cup of coffee, enjoy the daily newspaper, or check phone or e-mail messages. Members wishing to host events after hours will incur additional charges to offset the cost of cleaning, security, heat/air, services of an engineer, etc.
The ISBA building, which was built as a railroad freight depot in 1902, is located at 625 East Court Avenue in downtown Des Moines, Iowa. It is two blocks from the state Capitol and the Iowa Judicial Branch Building.
