The Drake University Campus Historic District is located in Des Moines, Iowa, United States.

It is part of the Drake University and Related Properties in Des Moines, Iowa, 1881—1918 MPS.

[1] The historic district comprises six buildings on the southeast corner of the Drake University campus.

[2] The academic buildings also relate to the role of General Francis Marion Drake, who founded the school and was its major benefactor in its early years, and the progressive period of the school's early president Hill M. Bell.

The main façade features five gables, corbelled chimneys and a central bell tower.

Like the other buildings, it features classical detail, brick quoining semi-circular pediment, and continuous sills.

Unifying elements within the district include the rusticated brick for the high basement, continuous sills and lintels, concrete molding, concrete round-arched entries on the west and north, and classical detail.

Carnegie Library built from 1907-08 represents the shift from a sectarian school, its progressive educational policies and its need for funding at a national level.

The brickwork in the building is multi-colored: pinkish-tan pilasters, panels between windows in gold and the base in dark red-brown brick.

The Education Building is a five-story tan brick structure with a corner bell tower.

The interior includes forty classrooms, gymnasium, church offices, chapel and fellowship hall.
