City Market (Davenport, Iowa)

City Market is a historic building located in downtown Davenport, Iowa, United States.

[1] In 2020 it was included as a contributing property in the Davenport Downtown Commercial Historic District.

However, the merchants had to vacate their individual stores in order to occupy a stall in the City Market.

[3] To that end the city hired Thomas W. McClelland to build the public market on Fifth Street in 1872.

[4] The City Market is a single-story, brick building constructed on a stone foundation.

[6] The structure is rectangular in shape and is topped by a gable roof, which faces Main Street.

The Romanesque may be found in the rounded arches and decorative brickwork on the façade fronting Main Street.
