The 19-story Equitable Building, at 604 Locust St. in Des Moines, was completed in 1924, and standing at 318 ft (97m), for 49 years was the tallest building in Iowa. At the time it was completed the Equitable Building was also the tallest building west of the Mississippi River. It remained the tallest building in Iowa for almost 50 years, until the completion of Financial Center in 1973. From a distance, the building's outstanding feature is the rooftop lantern, with elongated round-arched windows, terra-cotta paneling, and a spirelike roof.
