The Siemer House was located on Lot 1, Block 17 of the original town of Davenport, Iowa, United States,[2] which today is the west side of downtown. It was also a part of the West Third Street Historic District. The property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977.[1] The building deteriorated and it was torn down in 2007.
History
J.C.F Siemer was a brick mason who immigrated to Davenport from the German states of Schleswig-Holstein. The house is attributed to him and was constructed in 1865.[2] The building has had various owners and occupants over the years and in the later part of its existence it was part of a used car lot.
Architecture
The Siemer House was a two-story brick building on a stone foundation. This late Victorian structure featured details that evoked the Italianate style: a bracketed metal cornice, tall, narrow profile of the fenestration, and the centralized entrance.[2] The windows were symmetrically placed on the façade with five on the second floor and two flanking the entrance. The windows were surrounded by small wooden headers and sills.
