The Lambert Tevoet House is located in the West End of Davenport, Iowa, United States. It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1983.[1]

History

Lambert Tevoet was a tailor who worked for Bartemeier and Geerts. He probably did not have the house built, but he was an early owner and lived here for many years.[2]

Architecture

The house is an example of a popular form found in the city of Davenport: two-story, three –bay front gable, with an entrance off center and a small attic window below the roof peak.[3] This house is built of brick and has little in the way of decoration. The house does feature simple window hoods and a transom over the front door.[4] The style was popularized in Davenport by T.W. McClelland.[2]
