The German American Heritage Center, also known as the Germania-Miller/Standard Hotel, is a cultural center and museum in Davenport, Iowa, United States, that chronicles and preserves the history of German-Americans in the Midwest region.
[1] The German American Heritage Center was incorporated in 1994, and the board of directors purchased the Standard Hotel on the Davenport riverfront in 1995.
[2] In 2009, extensive renovations to the center were completed with enhanced multimedia and exhibit spaces.
[4] Of particular merit is the metal cornice that was apparently added by John Miller, whose name appears on it.
The easternmost bay, where the hotel's main entrance was located, is more decorative than the other six and is below the cornice arch.
