John Deere House, Second Empire residence in Moline, United States.
The John Deere House at 1217 11th Avenue stands on a high bluff with carved details, mansard roof, and decorative moldings characteristic of Second Empire architecture.
Built in 1870 as an Italianate structure, John Deere acquired the property in 1875 and transformed it into a Second Empire residence known as Red Cliff by 1880.
The residence represents the success of John Deere, who revolutionized agriculture through manufacturing innovations and established his prominent company in Moline.
The property, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, undergoes renovations with plans to become a bed and breakfast and event space.
During renovations, Deere installed an early form of air conditioning using buried ceramic tiles and added iron bars to strengthen the structure against winds.
