The Edward S. Barrows House is located just north of downtown Davenport, Iowa, United States. It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1976.[1]
Architecture
Greek Revival was the first style of architecture to have an impact in Davenport. Dr. Barrows was one of the few people in the city’s early years who was able to afford the style on a large scale.[2] The side gabled house features a large porch across the front. It is topped by a triangular pediment that is held up by Doric columns. The long rectangular windows on the first floor are decorated with simple, molded cornices. A simple cornice is also found at the roofline.
The property is also known as the Capital Apartments.[1]
