History

J.C.F Siemer was a brick mason who immigrated to Davenport from the German states of Schleswig-Holstein. The house is attributed to him and was constructed in 1865.^[2] The building has had various owners and occupants over the years and in the later part of its existence it was part of a used car lot.

Architecture

The Siemer House was a two-story brick building on a stone foundation. This late Victorian structure featured details that evoked the Italianate style: a bracketed metal cornice, tall, narrow profile of the fenestration, and the centralized entrance.^[2] The windows were symmetrically placed on the façade with five on the second floor and two flanking the entrance. The windows were surrounded by small wooden headers and sills.
