George B. Swan House

The George B. Swan House is a historic building located on the east side of Davenport, Iowa, United States.

[1] George B. Swan was the yardmaster for the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railroad.

Their roundhouse and switching yards were located down Farnam Street from his house.

[2] He had this house constructed in 1881 when the lot was subdivided from the LeClaire family's homestead.

Decorative features such as chamfered posts with small brackets, decorative window surrounds, a diamond-shaped window in the gable end and a two-story projecting side bay make this a Vernacular idiom of the style.
