West Ninth Streetcar Line Historic District

The West Ninth Streetcar Line Historic District is located in the north-central section of Des Moines, Iowa, United States.

It was Des Moines’ most fully developed streetcar corridor in the Victorian era and it remains largely intact.

By being served by multiple lines shows the importance of North Des Moines as a Victorian-era suburb.

The Ninth Street streetcar line ended service when it was replaced by gas-powered buses.

The property then became the campus of Dowling Catholic High School an institution of the Diocese of Des Moines.
