The Hoffman Building was located in downtown Davenport, Iowa, United States. It was built c.1855 and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.[1] The building was typical of Davenport’s early commercial architecture with a steep-pitched side-gable roof.[4] In its early days a long shed roof extended from the building and was supported by posts along the curb to shelter the sidewalk.

The property was covered in a 1982 study of Davenport MRA and/or its 1983 follow-on. [2] [3]

Like the Prien Building next door, Mueller Lumber Company across the street and the Riepe Drug Store/G. Ott Block on the 400 block of Second Street, it was torn down in the late 20th century.
