Davenport Bank and Trust
Davenport Bank and Trust, Neoclassical bank building in downtown Davenport, US.
The Davenport Bank and Trust Building is a neoclassical high-rise with 17 floors, distinguished by black marble panels and arched arcade windows on a limestone facade. The structure houses commercial spaces, offices, and apartments today while maintaining its original architectural details.
The structure was built in 1927 by Weary and Alford Company and became the home of Iowa's largest commercial bank during the mid-twentieth century. It survived the Great Depression as one of only two banks remaining in the city.
The building reflects how financial institutions shaped downtown life, with its grand interior spaces once serving as meeting points for business transactions and civic gatherings. People passing by today still notice the imposing entrance and ornate details that communicated strength and trustworthiness to earlier customers.
The building complex is easy to spot on the street and offers various retail options on the ground floor for visitors to explore. To fully appreciate the interior, visitors should allow time for a walk through the publicly accessible areas.
The building was originally known as German Savings Bank before being renamed to American Commercial and Savings Bank during World War I. This name change reflected larger societal shifts happening during those war years.
