The William V. Carr House is located in the West End of Davenport, Iowa. It was built by William Carr who held several different occupations during his lifetime. He had served as Assistant Street Commissioner, laborer, police officer, and dyer. His house is a noteworthy example of residential architecture from the time of the American Civil War.^[2] The main façade of the house has numerous architectural features. There is a projecting frontispiece with a round-arch entrance and two round-arch windows on the second floor. The main entrance is flanked by side bays that feature two windows with segmental heads. Above the window pairs and above the porch are recessed panels. The ends of the frontispiece and the main block of the house itself feature rusticated quoins. The residence has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1983.^[1]
