The building is a masonry structure with a steel frame structural system and exhibits eclectic, Italian Renaissance detail. It stands prominent on the Iowa State Fairgrounds in Des Moines, Iowa.
The structure was erected with financial support from the State of Iowa and was originally built from 1926 to 1927. It was expanded in 1929.
The building was listed as a contributing property on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987 as a part of the Iowa State Fair and Exposition Grounds.
