J. Monroe Parker-Ficke House, Second Empire mansion in College Square Historic District, Davenport, United States.
The residence features a mansard roof with multicolor slate shingles, wrought-iron roof cresting, decorative brackets, and detailed window ornamentation throughout the exterior.
James Monroe Parker, a prominent Davenport financier, commissioned builder T.W. McClelland to construct this residence in 1881, with Victor Huot designing the slate roof.
The property holds significance as the residence of Charles August Ficke, a mayor who enhanced public works and contributed his art collection to the Davenport Museum of Art.
The Delta Sigma Chi Fraternity of Palmer College of Chiropractic maintains the property with recent improvements including basement waterproofing and drainage system installations.
The basement renovation required specialized solutions, including four TripleSafe sump pumps and custom-fitted WaterGuard channels due to irregular wall configurations.
