The James Cawley House is located on the eastside of Davenport, Iowa, United States. The residence has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1984.[1] James Cawley was a bricklayer who had this house built in 1876. His wife continued to live here into the 1890s after his death. The house follows a popular Vernacular style of architecture from the mid to late 19th-century Davenport known as the McClelland style. The unusual feature of this house in comparison to other examples in the city is the bank construction that allows for a walk-in basement on the front of the house.[2] It is also one of the few McClelland style houses found in the Fulton Addition. Otherwise, the two-story brick house features a three bay front-gabled form and rectangular shape that are typical of the style. The large porch on the front is not original to the house.
