Marycrest College Historic District

Marycrest College Historic District is a campus with 13 buildings situated on a bluff overlooking Davenport. The structures showcase architectural styles ranging from Queen Anne design to modern construction, currently serving as a senior living community.

The site was founded in 1939 as a Catholic women's college and provided education until 2002. Financial challenges led to closure, after which the buildings transitioned to new uses.

The campus integrated education and architectural development through various periods, combining Queen Anne, Collegiate Gothic, Late Gothic Revival, and Modern designs.

The grounds are walkable and offer paths between the various buildings. Visitors can explore the exteriors of the structures, though checking which areas are open to the public is important.

Multiple buildings display different architectural periods, with older Queen Anne structures standing alongside later designs. This variety allows visitors to see different building styles in one location.
