N. M. Stark and Company, of Des Moines, Iowa, was a firm active in building bridges in Iowa.
History
Nathaniel McClure Stark (1863-1935) was born in Indianola, Iowa, and received an engineering degree from Iowa State Agricultural College (now Iowa State University). In 1888, he entered the bridge building industry as an agent for the King Iron Bridge and Manufacturing Company of Cleveland. He founded the N. M. Stark Company in 1894.
N. M. Stark had an effective monopoly on bridge construction in Marshall County, Iowa, from 1908 until a state law in 1913 stopped the practice.
A number of the firm's works are listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places.
