The F.E. Haley Double House, also known as the Gordon Apartments, is a historic building located in Des Moines, Iowa, United States. It is notable as one of the earliest examples of a double house constructed in the area.[2] The housing type became more common during the Victorian era.

Built in 1897, this 2½-story brick Colonial Revival was developed by Felix E. Haley, who managed the property but did not reside in it, indicating its intended use as a rental or investment property. The building features a symmetrical facade, brick in several colors and textures, and a sloping flat roof. While it originally had a full-length front porch, this one is not the original.[2] The four lunette-shaped windows in the frieze feature shield-shaped panes. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.[1]
