School Number 6 is an historic building located in Davenport, Iowa, United States. The building was completed in 1903.[3] It was later renamed Jackson School and served the public school district into the 1940s. From 1943 to 1964 the building served as a parochial school for Holy Family Catholic Church.[4] Since then it has been an office building. In 2010 the building was purchased by Renaissance Realty Group of Chicago to renovate into housing for senior citizens. It has been divided into 48 apartments and is called The Jackson Renaissance.[5] They previously renovated the historic Taylor School in Davenport. The former Jackson School building was listed on the Davenport Register of Historic Properties and on the National Register of Historic Places in 2011.
