The I. Edward Templeton House is located in the central part of Davenport, Iowa, United States. It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1983.[1]
History
This house was probably built for I. Edward Templeton, who was a conductor for the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul Railroad.[2] The 1890 structure is an example of an early mail order plan that was popular in the late 19th century.[3] The plans, or in some cases the whole house, could be ordered from a catalogue or an advertisement found in newspapers or magazines.
Architecture
The house is a simplified version of the Queen Anne style known as the Shingle Style. This structure is also an example of a "pinwheel" house.[3] It is a two-story square box, with a pointed hipped roof, and gabled projections that are asymmetrically placed at the front and on the sides of the structure.[3] The house also features an Eastlake porch, a variety of surface textures and stained glass transom lights.
