The William A. and Etta Baum Cottage is a historic building located in Des Moines, Iowa, United States. Built in 1891, the 1½-story structure features a gable-end facade, brick foundation, and a small front porch with a gable-end roof. It is considered a good example of the gable-on-hip subtype of the Queen Anne cottage. There were only a few that were built with 1½-stories as most were two-stories. Its significance is based on how it demonstrates that a modest-sized dwelling can embrace the picturesque design.[2] The cottage was individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996.[1] It was included as a contributing property in the Polk County Homestead and Trust Company Addition Historic District in 2016.[3]
