Kahl Building, Chicago School commercial building in Downtown Davenport, United States.
The Kahl Building stands ten stories high, featuring elaborate ornamentation on lower floors and recessed spandrel panels on upper levels with large plate glass windows.
Henry Kahl commissioned architect Arthur Ebeling to design this $1.5 million commercial structure in 1920, drawing inspiration from notable Chicago architects William Holabird and Louis Sullivan.
The Capitol Theatre within the Kahl Building hosted significant performances, including the 1959 Winter Dance Party featuring Buddy Holly before his final flight.
The building underwent a $20 million renovation in 2023, transforming the historic structure into 65 market-rate apartments while preserving its architectural elements.
The Capitol Theatre houses the only remaining Wicks theater organ still located in its original installation site within the United States.
