The William Holbrook House is located on the east side of Davenport, Iowa, United States. It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1984.[1] William Holbrook was a furniture and carpeting dealer. He was the first person to occupy this house.[2] The 2½-story house features an irregular plan with several projecting pavilions, hipped roof and the corner tower are typical of the Queen Anne style. What sets this house apart in Davenport is the exterior embellishments found in the clapboard siding, the millwork on the porch, and shingling typical of the Shingle Style. While these are not unusual in the Queen Anne style many have been re-sided in subsequent years, which makes this one stand out.[2]
