History
Joseph G. Motie worked as a bricklayer and he may have done the masonry work on this house when it was built in 1860.[2] He and his wife Mary lived here for over 30 years.
Architecture
The house is a similar to the neighboring Joseph Mallet House. It is a simplified version of the Italianate style that was built in the city of Davenport from the mid-1850s.[3] The house is a two-story, three –bay structure with an entrance that is off center. Like many early Italianate homes in Davenport it retained some features of the Greek Revival style. These are found in the glass framed doorway and the simple window pediments.[4]
