Rollins Mansion is a historic 1920s estate south of downtown Des Moines, designed for Ralph Rollins of Rollins Hosiery Mills. The home features original architectural details throughout, including stained glass attributed to Frank Lloyd Wright, carved wood moldings, and reclaimed 16th-century ship beams. Its many rooms create a flow that feels both grand and intimate—each space unique in its light, texture, and purpose.
Ceremonies often take place in the garden or on the terrace overlooking the Des Moines skyline, with cocktails in the solarium and dinner in the ballroom or great hall. Inside, there are countless details to take in—bookshelves in the library, stained glass windows in the solarium, the courtyard dance floor, and a private bridal suite in the cottage. With a mix of indoor and outdoor spaces, the property adapts beautifully to small gatherings or large receptions and offers a timeless backdrop for photography.
