The Equitable Building is a high-rise located in Des Moines, Iowa. It is named after the Equitable Insurance Company, which originally owned the building, and is located along Locust Street in the downtown area of the city. Completed in 1924 and standing at 318 ft (97m), it was the tallest building in Iowa for almost 50 years, until the completion of Financial Center in 1973, and is now the eighth tallest.[cite web|title=Equitable Building | url=http://skyscraperpage.com/cities/?buildingID=10348 | publisher=skyscraperpage.com | accessdate=2008-04-28] ][cite web|title=Equitable Building, Des Moines | url=http://www.emporis.com/en/wm/bu/?id=equitablebuilding-desmoines-ia-usa | publisher=emporis.com | accessdate=2008-04-28] ]The building consists of retail, office and residential spaces.
