The Riepe Drug Store/G. Ott Block was located in downtown Davenport, Iowa, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.[1] Like the Hoffman Building and the Prien Building on the 500 block of Second Street, it was torn down in the late 20th century. Along with the former Mueller Lumber Company building on the 500 block of second street, it is the location of Community Health Care’s downtown complex today.

Architecture

The building was a three-story, brick structure in the Romanesque Revival style. It featured ornamental rows of brick, or corbelling, just below the cornice line.[2] Round-arch windows lined the second and third floors and were capped with a keystone. The storefront had been altered in later years.[3]
