The Miller Building was an historic building located in the central part of Davenport, Iowa, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.[1]
History
Dr. William Miller built this structure in 1885. He used the first floor for his medical practice and lived in the residential space on the second floor.[2] Other commercial interests also occupied the building over the years. The building was a part of a larger commercial strip on Harrison Street that has subsequently been torn down and replaced by newer commercial buildings, surface parking and green space. A modern building housing a daycare center now occupies the property.
Architecture
The Miller Building was a two-story, brick building. The Late Victorian style structure exemplified the variety of brickwork that was found in Davenport's commercial architecture.[2] It featured a three-bay façade, cast iron shop front, keystone depressed round-arch windows, and a corbelled cornice. An addition had been built onto the back.
