No information found about where Pleasant Corners school was moved from, or the date it was built. It is located NW of the downtown Des Moines, area at 1350 E. Washington Ave. This is at the NW corner of Washington and E. 14th St. There is a brick building at this corner which used to be Whittier School, which faces Washington St. Apparently at one time Pleasant Corners was moved here as an addition to the school on its north side. By 1998 the building was used as the Boys & Girls Club of Central Iowa, but appeared to be vacant at the time of our photo. I was told by the neighbor on the north side of the school that the Pleasant Corners building is to be made into an art gallery.
