Hamburg Historic District

Hamburg Historic District is a neighborhood in Davenport with buildings from the late 1800s and early 1900s, showing various architectural styles of that era. The homes and shops stand closely together forming the kind of streetscape typical of that time period.

The area developed as Davenport grew into an important trading center on the Mississippi River. It was later recognized as a National Register of Historic Places to protect these buildings and their architectural importance.

The district displays a mix of homes and shops that shaped daily life in Davenport over generations. Walking through, you see how these buildings served both families and merchants who lived and worked side by side.

The area is best explored on foot, with buildings standing close together and easy to see from the street. A walk through the neighborhood gives a good sense of the different building styles and architectural details throughout the district.

Many of the facades still display the ornamental details and carefully crafted woodwork that were used when the buildings were originally constructed. These decorative elements are rare to find today and make the district worth visiting for anyone interested in traditional craft techniques.
