Leon Bismark Beiderbecke House
Leon Bismark Beiderbecke House, Victorian residence in Davenport, Iowa, United States
The Leon Bismark Beiderbecke House features a rectangular structure measuring 26 feet wide and 57 feet deep with a wraparound porch on Grand Avenue.
The National Register of Historic Places recognized this Victorian house in 1977, preserving the birthplace of jazz musician Bix Beiderbecke from 1903 to 1921.
Young Bix Beiderbecke developed his musical talents in this house, learning piano by ear and practicing cornet while listening to riverboat music from the Mississippi.
The property stands at 1934 Grand Avenue in the east side of Davenport, near multiple hotels and local points of interest.
At age six, Beiderbecke's early musical abilities received recognition in an article published by the Davenport Democrat newspaper.
