The Argonne Building is a historic commercial building located at 1723 Grand Avenue in Des Moines, Iowa. Constructed in 1919, it originally served as a showroom for the Ford automobile plant located across the street and provided housing for employees.
In later years, the building served as a long-term hotel and an apartment building for low-income renters. The property was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2020.
Plans are currently underway to convert most of the building into market-rate apartments while maintaining the commercial space on the main level.
