Max Petersen House, Queen Anne style residence in Davenport, Iowa.
The Max Petersen House, built in 1888, features a stone foundation, high hip roof, projecting gable ends, and a turret with a conical roof.
Designed by architect Frederick G. Clausen, this residence belonged to Max Petersen, who with his brothers transformed their father's retail store into Von Maur department stores.
The property served as a residence for sisters after becoming part of Marycrest College in 1939, contributing to the development of women's education in Iowa.
Located at 1607 W. 12th Street in Davenport, the house occupies less than one acre and currently operates as part of the Marycrest Senior Campus.
The structure incorporates large decorative dentils on the cornice and exhibits detailed brickwork that demonstrates the craftsmanship of late 19th-century architecture.
