The House at 919 Oneida Street is located on the eastside of Davenport, Iowa, United States. It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1984.[1]
Architecture
This house shows the development of the Italianate form in Davenport from the Joseph Mallet House and the Joseph Motie House, both of which were built earlier.[2] This house features projections from the box-like form, bracketed eaves, curved window hoods and decorative elements cut by jig and scroll saws.[2]
Local Lore
The house was originally built at the bottom of the hill, but was later moved to the top and its current placement per the owner's wishes. Such a move required the house to be literally split in two, then the halves were moved using an 'ice-block' method in which the house was set on giant blocks of ice and pulled by horse. A perfect setting with a glorious view of the Mississippi River.
Ownership
A wonderful family currently resides in this beautiful old house on the hill.
