The Alden Bryan House is located in the West End of Davenport, Iowa. The residence has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1983.[1]
History
The provenance of this house is not entirely clear as addresses in the city directory of this time period are unclear.[2] It is possible that Alden Bryan built the house in 1870. He worked for the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railroad, and intermittently, as a farmer. Herman Balschmitter bought this property in 1876 and he too could have built the house. He also could have lived in an adjacent house. Balschmitter worked as tailor and a photographer.
Architecture
The Bryan House is a vernacular, Greek Revival style structure also known as the McClelland or German house type.[2] They are found throughout the older sections of Davenport. It is somewhat unusual, however, because it retains its original clapboards, window details, porch posts and brackets.
