The Elizabeth Pohlmann House is located in the West End of Davenport, Iowa, United States. It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1984.[1]

Elizabeth Pohlmann was the widow of Herman B. Pohlmann, and she had this house built in 1896.[2] The Pohlmann's were part of the German-ethnic community that lived on the northwest side of Davenport. The house features the hip roof and gable projections typically found in the Queen Anne style. But it also includes full cornice returns, which create pediments, and light colored brick typical of the Colonial Revival style.[2] The 2½-story residence also features a main entrance framed by sidelights and an art glass transom over a plate glass parlor window. Both the front and the back of the house are missing prominent porches that were originally on the structure.[2]
