St. Katherine's Historic District
St. Katherine's Historic District, Renaissance Revival school district in Davenport, United States.
The district contains six buildings, including two former mansions, a chapel, dormitory facilities, and educational structures spread across the eastern part of Davenport.
The Episcopal girls' school, established in 1884 by Bishop William Stevens Perry, began with 25 students and operated on the former grounds of Iowa College.
The educational complex transformed from an exclusive girls' school to a coeducational institution in 1966, reflecting changes in American educational practices.
The district now functions as St. Katherine's Living Center, providing residential care services for senior citizens in a historical setting.
The Richardson Observatory, constructed in 1888, housed what was considered the most advanced telescope in Iowa at that time.
