The Des Moines Auditorium, located on 4th Street and built in 1908, is a historic theater in downdown Des Moines. After the building served as an auditorium, it was for a while home to the Buick Automobile Company. Currently a garage, the old building contains several ghost signs. Probably the most known is a faded advertisement on the north side that reads, from top to bottom: "BUICK | SERVICE | SALES | PARTS | Better Buy | the Buick logo". Two other faded signs are barely visible on the front side of the building. Simply, they are Entrance and Exit signs painted above the garage doors.
