The Jacob Quickel House is a historic building located on the east side of Davenport, Iowa, United States. It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1984.[1]
History
The Late Gothic Revival style residence was built in 1880. Jacob Quickel, who worked as a cutter at the Rock Island Arsenal, began living here in 1902. He is the earliest known person to reside here.[2] C. Rollin Marks, who worked as a clerk at his family's business, the Security Fire Insurance Company, bought the house in 1907.
Architecture
This is a rare Gothic Revival style house in Davenport.[2] The style is realized in the very steep and narrow gables. It is also found in the strongly-shaped vergeboards, porch and window details, which all give the structure a rectilinear feeling. This is typical of the Late Gothic Revival in contrast to the earlier expression of the style, which is conveyed in its use of curves.[2] The two-story frame house was built on a rock-faced stone foundation. It features a cross-gable plan and a porch that wraps around the front and the south side.
