Louis P. and Clara K. Best Residence and Auto House

The Louis P. and Clara K. Best Residence and Auto House, also known as Grandview Apartments and The Alamo, is a historic building located in the central part of Davenport, Iowa, United States.

Her father was a pioneer settler in Davenport and he established a clothing manufacturing company that produced overalls.

[5] It is one of the few examples of Mission Revival architecture in Davenport,[6] and it is also one the first "absolutely fireproof" houses built in the Quad Cities.

The flooring decks are composed of steel reinforced concrete joists with intermittent rows of hollow tile.

The 2½-story structure features a steep hipped roof typical of an American Foursquare, projecting gabled pavilions with Mission Style curved parapets, a small front porch, and a single-story wing along south elevation.

Prairie School influences are found in the horizontality of the various porches, a projecting one-story window feature, and a two-story sunporch.

It is believed that Rudolph Clausen was the designer of the house as he was the younger of the two architects and more familiar with the newer techniques of the day, including the "fireproof" construction methods and the combination of the Mission and Arts & Crafts styles.
