Iowa has changed a lot over the years, and so have the purposes of its buildings. That’s certainly the case for one building in Des Moines, currently home to the Raccoon Forks Trading Co. Now an antique store, it was first built in 1920 to house the American Railway Express Company. Since then, it’s held a dairy company and various independent businesses. Located in the corner, in a space that used to be a horse stable, is Railroad Bill’s Dining Car. This hole-in-the-wall diner is one of the most innovative places to get a tasty breakfast or lunch in Des Moines, and it looks like a charming modern restaurant – with no trace of the fact that a century ago, it was hungry horses chowing down in here before they went off for deliveries!
