The new R&T lofts

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA
June 11, 2013: View down the staircase that runs the height of the 1918 Register & Tribune Building.

The historic Register & Tribune Building in Des Moines, where I worked for a decade, is almost ready to open as a giant apartment building, KCCI reports. (Video at the link.) It’s a huge transformation, discombobulating even.

The newsroom space (where you see the reporters working on iMacs in the decade-old file footage) is part of the 1949 addition. The giant hole that was once the pressroom underneath is still vacant, though.

Kyle Munson wrote a column about touring the renovated building, which has a slightly different address.
