The Henry Paustian House is a historic building located in the West End of Davenport, Iowa, United States.
[1] There are very few examples left of the early houses built in the city of Davenport in the Vernacular style from its formative years, however, the Henry Paustian House is one such example.
There are no city directories available before 1856 so it is impossible to accurately date the house, but it was probably built in the early 1850s.
Typical elements of Davenport's early homes that are found in this structure are the single story, side-gable roof, and the entrance on the long side of the house.
[2] The only style elements of the house are found in its symmetry and the molded cornices above the windows and door.
