The Jacob Goering House was located on the hill above downtown Davenport, Iowa, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.[1] The Greek Revival style house has subsequently been torn down and the location is now a parking lot for Palmer College of Chiropractic.

Jacob Goering was an early labor organizer in Davenport who was involved in more militant national union efforts.[2] When placed on the National Register of Historic Places it was one of a few buildings left in Davenport that reflected the city’s major social movements of the 19th century.[3]
