Vander Veer Park Historic District
Vander Veer Park Historic District, Historic district in Davenport, United States.
The 70-acre district contains 66 historical buildings surrounding a central park with landscaped gardens, ponds, and walking paths at its core.
The site transformed from Scott County Fairgrounds in 1885 to Central Park in 1890, before receiving its current name Vander Veer Park in 1911.
Middle and upper-middle-class residences built between 1895 and 1915 display Queen Anne and Tudor Revival architectural styles throughout the neighborhood.
The district stands 22 blocks north of the Mississippi River, positioned at the beginning of Harrison-Main-Brady thoroughfares leading to downtown Davenport.
The 33-acre park features original late 19th-century infrastructure including a glasshouse, floral gardens, and period-specific street lighting installations.
