The Hallett Flat-Rawson & Co. Apartment Building at 1301-1307 Locust St. in Des Moines, Iowa is a pair of abutting buildings. The Hallett Flats building, at 1305-1307 Locust St., is a three-story building designed by architect George E. Hallett and was built in 1904. It has also been known as Hallett Apartments. The Rawson & Co. Apartment Building, a four-story building designed by Proudfoot, Bird and Rawson, was built in 1915 in such a way that the two would function as one building. It has also been known as Arlington Apartments.[2] The combination was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000. The listing included two contributing buildings and one other contributing structure.[1]

It was deemed architecturally significant "as a fine example of a multiple-function complex, designed during the early Twentieth Century by two of Des Moines' most prominent architectural firms."[2]:21
