Clarissa Cook Home for the Friendless, Victorian residential home in Davenport, Iowa.

The Clarissa Cook Home presents Victorian architectural elements with intricate woodwork, large bay windows, and a symmetrical facade on a 5.3-acre property.

Established in 1884, the building served as a refuge for women aged 60 and older, requiring a $100 admission fee and specific personal items including a Bible.

The structure represents social reform movements of the late 19th century, focusing on providing shelter and support for women facing economic hardship.

Located at 2223 West 1st Street in Davenport, the building now contains nine apartments for senior citizens after its 2015 renovation.

The property included numerous facilities such as a gardener's cottage, stable, henhouse, garden, grape arbor, and root cellar during its early years.
