IV. Old Business
V. New Business
1. Case DNRHP25-01: Request for demolition of the detached garage at 633 Ripley Street.
The Louis and Clara (Heuer) Naeckel House is a contributing structure in the Hamburg
Local Landmark Historic District. William Rogers, petitioner, on behalf of Cristina E
Bucksbaum Revocable Trust. [Ward 3]
Staff provided an overview of the request. Due to deterioration and structural concerns,
the property owner is petitioning demolition of the 20'x18' garage. Following
demolition, the owner intends to return the area covered by the garage and concrete
driveway to green space. For the demolition of a structure within a local historic district,
the Commission can approve demolition if there is an economic hardship or if the
structure substantially violates building and fire codes.
Staff recommended that the Historic Preservation Commission approve demolition of
the detached garage at 633 Ripley Street, subject to the following finding: The structure
violates the 2021 International Residential Code.
William Rogers, applicant, was in attendance to answer questions. The owner
commented on the severe state of deterioration.
Commissioners inquired about the possibility of salvaging the building materials for
future use in another project.
Motion by Gomez, second by Adams, to approve Case DNRHP25-01 in accordance with
the submitted materials. Motion passed by a roll call vote (7-0).
2. Case DNRHP25-02: Request for demolition of the Warming House at 2200 West River
Drive. Credit Island is a locally listed historic landmark. City of Davenport, petitioner.
[Ward 3]
Staff introduced the Parks and Recreation Department’s request to demolish the Credit
Island Warming Shelter. The brick structure has become unsafe due to falling bricks,
cracked supports, and a crumbling roof. The park shelter is currently fenced-off to
protect public safety. Once demolished, the debris will be disposed and the area will be
returned to green space. Credit Island is located within the Mississippi River floodway.
The warming house is often inaccessible due to frequent flooding events, making
maintenance and improvements difficult for park staff.
Staff recommended that the Historic Preservation Commission approve demolition of
the Credit Island Warming House at 2200 West River Drive.
Findings:
1. The structure violates the 2021 International Building Code.
2. Per the Iowa Flood Center, the park shelter has a 50% annual chance of flooding in
any given year.
3. Credit Island is a locally listed historic landmark due to its association with both
events and persons that have made a contribution to the history of the city and
nation. The park shelter is not historically significant based on its own merits.
William Fisher, Senior Parks Manager, was in attendance to answer questions and
explain the rationale for demolition. He described the history of flooding on the island
and challenges in maintaining the Warming House.
The Commission discussed the importance of the City setting an example of being a
good steward of historic resources. The Commission directed the Parks and Recreation
Department to provide a comprehensive plan for park maintenance.
Motion by McGivern, second by Hoff, to table Case DNRHP25-02. The purpose was to
allow the Parks and Recreation Department additional time to respond to the comments
made during the meeting. Motion passed by a roll call vote (7-0).
3. Case COA25-05: Request for the installation of a new roof at 730 Gaines Street. The
Christian H.H. and Fanny (Voigt) Jipp House and Grocery is located within the Hamburg
Local Landmark Historic District. Gateway Redevelopment Group, petitioner. [Ward 3]
Staff presented a summary of the request to install a new roof over the main house and
retail store. The Yankee gutter system will remain following completion of the project.
The existing roofing material is a cedar shake shingle, which was installed in 2005. The
replacement product is Owen's Cornings TruDef Duration Series. This is an architectural
asphalt shingle. The color and material will match the detached barn/garage structure at
the rear of the property. Staff then outlined the history of building permits at the
property referencing asphalt shingles.
Staff recommended approval of the Certificate of Appropriateness to install a new roof
at 730 Gaines Street in accordance with the submitted material.
The project was reviewed for conformance with the Standards for Review, Chapter
14.01.060 C and D of the Davenport Municipal Code. The project meets the following
standards:
a. Every reasonable effort shall be made to make the minimal number of changes
necessary to maintain a designated property in a good state of repair, thereby
minimizing the impact of the proposed alteration.
Jack Haberman, applicant, was in attendance to answer questions and explain the
history of the architectural salvage store.
The Commission asked questions about the type of architectural shingle used and its
resemblance to the material on the adjacent barn structure.
Motion by Gomez, second by Adams, to approve Case COA25-05 in accordance with the
submitted materials. Motion passed by a roll call vote (6-0). Commissioner Kretz
abstained.
4. Case COA25-06: Request to replace the original cast iron entry at 526 West 2nd Street.
The Iowa Reform Building is a locally listed historic landmark. VJEA LLC, petitioner.
[Ward 3]
Staff introduced the project and outlined the scope of work. Boyler's Ornamental Iron
has been contracted to refurbish and fabricate the original cast iron entryway. Due to
deterioration and safety concerns, the property owner installed wooden steps into the
apartment unit as a temporary measure until the historic iron entry could be reinstalled.
Staff view the project as a replacement in-kind.
Staff made a recommendation to approve the Certificate of Appropriateness to replace
the original cast iron entry at 526 West 2nd Street in accordance with the submitted
material.
The project was reviewed for conformance with the Standards for Review, Chapter
14.01.060 C and D of the Davenport Municipal Code. The project meets the following
standards:
1. Every reasonable effort shall be made to make the minimal number of changes
necessary to maintain a designated property in a good state of repair, thereby
minimizing the impact of the proposed alteration.
2. Deteriorated architectural features should, where possible, be repaired rather than
replaced. Where the severity of deterioration requires replacement, the new
feature shall match the old in design, color, texture and other visual qualities and,
where possible, materials. Replacement of missing features shall be substantiated
by documentary, physical or pictorial evidence.
Krisha Saldivar, representative of the applicant, was in attendance to answer questions.
Motion by Eaton, second by Gomez, to approve Case COA 25-06 in accordance with the
submitted materials. Motion passed by a roll call vote (7-0).
5. Case COA25-07: Request for site improvements, restoration of existing structures, and
new construction at 2800 Eastern Avenue. The Iowa Soldiers' Orphans' Home Historic
District is a locally and nationally listed historic district. Annie Wittenmyer Family LLC,
petitioner. [Ward 5]
Staff presented a summary of improvements to the historic district. The developer,
Annie Wittenmyer Family LLC, is utilizing both state and federal historic preservation tax
credits to help finance the project. This provides an additional level of oversight
regarding historic preservation of the campus, as the National Park Service reviews
the development for compliance with The Secretary of the Interior's Standards for
Rehabilitation.
Staff summarized exterior alterations to the Children’s Cottage, Green House Building,
Ice House Building, Garage Building, Boy’s Training Building, Cottages (1-10), and
general site improvements. Additional site-wide building maintenance will include
masonry work, window repair/replacement, and installation of new roofs.
Staff made a recommendation to approve the Certificate of Appropriateness for site
improvements, restoration of existing structures, and new construction at 2800 Eastern
Avenue in accordance with the submitted material, subject to the following conditions:
1. Per the requirements of the National Park Service, the housing project shall be in
compliance with The Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation.
2. As the design for the rehabilitation project progresses, any substantial modifications
shall require a separate Certificate of Appropriateness Application and review by the
Historic Preservation Commission.
The project was reviewed for conformance with the Standards for Review, Chapter
14.01.060 C and D of the Davenport Municipal Code. The project meets the following
standards:
1. Every reasonable effort shall be made to make the minimal number of changes
necessary to maintain a designated property in a good state of repair, thereby
minimizing the impact of the proposed alteration.
2. Deteriorated architectural features should, where possible, be repaired rather than
replaced. Where the severity of deterioration requires replacement, the new
feature shall match the old in design, color, texture and other visual qualities and,
where possible, materials. Replacement of missing features shall be substantiated
by documentary, physical or pictorial evidence.
3. Activities that cause deterioration of a designated property and its architectural
features shall be discouraged. In those cases where the damage would be
irreversible, such as sand-blasting and wet blasting fire-hardened bricks, the
activities shall be prohibited. If cleaning is to be done, the gentlest means possible
shall be encouraged.
4. New additions and related new construction shall not be discouraged when such
improvements do not destroy historic material and such design is compatible with
the size, massing, scale, color, materials and character of the property,
neighborhood and district, if applicable.
Chris Ales, developer, was in attendance to discuss the overall site improvements,
requirements for National Park Service grants, and phasing of the development.
The Commission agreed with staff’s recommended conditions. Should the project
substantially deviate from the presented plans, those items shall be brought back for
formal review and consideration. Otherwise, the project can proceed with staff’s
oversight.
Motion by Kretz, second by Gomez, to approve Case COA 25-07 in accordance with the
submitted materials and conditions. Motion passed by a roll call vote (7-0).

Subject:
Case DNRHP25-01: Request for demolition of the detached garage at 633 Ripley Street. The
Louis and Clara (Heuer) Naeckel House is a contributing structure in the Hamburg Local
Landmark Historic District. William Rogers, petitioner, on behalf of Cristina E Bucksbaum
Revocable Trust. [Ward 3]
Recommendation:
Staff recommends that the Historic Preservation Commission approve demolition of the
detached garage at 633 Ripley Street.
Finding: The structure violates the 2021 International Residential Code.
Background:
Architectural Style and Significance:
According to the National Register of Historic Places Inventory-Nomination Form, the property
at 633 Ripley is a contributing structure in the Hamburg Historic District. This includes both the
single-family home and the detached garage. The two-story Queen Anne residence was
constructed circa 1901. Architectural details include a double-door entry, oriel window, bay
windows, chambered corner with brackets, dormers, decorative windows, decorative gables,
and a front porch.
The 360-square-foot garage, located in the rear yard, was constructed in 1920. It is a wood-
framed structure wrapped in wood siding and resting on a concrete foundation. The shed roof is
covered with asphalt shingles. Several windows have been removed from the structure, likely
due to structural issues occurring on the south and east walls.
Any demolition or partial demolition of a nationally or locally registered property requires review
and approval from the Historic Preservation Commission.
Demolition Request:
Due to deterioration and structural concerns, the property owner is petitioning demolition of the
20'x18' garage. Following demolition, the owner intends to return the area covered by the
garage and concrete driveway to green space.
The following scope of work is proposed:
1. Demolish garage. Properly dispose of all debris and any hazardous material. Recycle
metal to the greatest practical degree.
2. Demolish and dispose of garage concrete floor, footings, concrete rubble retaining wall,
and driveway.
3. Remove and dispose of the affected trees and rootballs.
4. Placement of fill dirt to level the drive and the backyard.
5. Provide and place approximately 2" of black dirt over the affected area.
6. Finish grade the affected area.
While it is not within the scope of work at this time, a Certificate of Appropriateness Application
is required for the construction of any new garage.
Demolition Review Process (Section 14.01.070):
No demolition permits shall be issued for local landmarks or properties within designated
historic districts prior to the commission, or the City Council upon appeal, issuing a certificate of
economic hardship. The commission shall review all the evidence and information submitted by
the applicant and receive testimony from other interested parties. If the commission finds that
the building substantially violates the City building, fire and/or housing codes or the property
owner cannot obtain a reasonable economic return therefrom, then the commission shall issue
the demolition permit. The commission shall act on each application within 60 days after the
receipt of a complete application.
Staff Review:
For the demolition of a structure within a local historic district, the Commission can approve
demolition if there is an economic hardship or if the structure substantially violates building and
fire codes.
Staff researched city records and present the following information:
1. The home and garage are listed as contributing structures in the Hamburg Local
Landmark Historic District.
2. The garage was built in 1920, approximately 19 years after the construction of the
single-family home.
3. Building materials consist of wood framed walls, concrete foundation, asphalt shingles,
and wood siding.
4. The garage is 360 square feet (20' x 18').
5. There does not appear to be a master builder, craftsman, architect, engineer, or
landscape architect associated with the garage.
6. According to the Scott County Parcel Report, the net assessed value is $140,710.
7. A structural report from a licensed architect or engineer has not been conducted.
However, the following observations were noted during a site visit:
1. The garage is visibly slanting towards the north.
2. The wood siding is in a state of deterioration. Most notably on the rear facade.
3. The east elevation is missing siding, leaving the framework and structure open to
the elements.
4. Windows have been removed from the north, south, and east elevations.
Window openings appear warped and skewed.
5. There are holes in the ceiling of the structure, enabling water to enter into the
garage and deteriorate the foundation from within.

C. Ordinary repair and maintenance. This chapter is not meant to prevent
ordinary repair and maintenance activities of private property not
requiring a building or sign permit.
14.01.100. Historic structure demolition review process. [Ord. No.
2019-02 § 4]
A. If the owner(s) of record or agent applies for a demolition permit to a
building or structure listed on the National Register of Historic Places,
which to date has not been designated as a local landmark, the office of
construction code enforcement shall not issue the permit but instead
shall direct the applicant to the commission secretary. Once the office of
construction code enforcement refers the matter to the commission
secretary, all demolition activity shall stop, if started, until after the
commission or the City Council acts on the matter. The commission
secretary shall place the demolition request on the agenda for the
commission's next meeting.
B. In making its determination on whether to recommend continuance of
the demolition stoppage and consideration by the City Council for
designation as a local landmark, the commission shall consider the
criteria as stated in Section 14.01.070B of this chapter. The
commission, by a three-fourths vote of its members present may
request the City Council to review a proposed demolition permit for a
structure listed on the National Register of Historic Places which has
not, to date, been designated as a local landmark. In the event the
commission votes to delay demolition, the commission shall have staff
prepare an individual property nomination for designation as a local
landmark as outlined in Section 14.01.040. Said nomination shall be
considered by the commission in a timely manner.
In the event the commission vote to nominate the property as a local
landmark fails, the demolition permit may be issued and the matter
does not proceed to the City Council.
In the event the commission votes first to delay demolition and then
to nominate the property for designation as a local landmark, the
commission shall submit written documentation to the City Council that
the building is presently on the National Register of Historic Places,
that the criteria for designation as a local landmark as listed in Section
14.01.040 have been met and that the provisions of Section 14.01.090
of the chapter are not applicable, as well as forward any application
material submitted by the petitioner or prepared by staff relevant to
either the demolition request or the landmark nomination.
C. The City Council shall give appropriate notice that a public hearing will
be held on the demolition application and nomination for landmark
designation.
At the public hearing, the City Council shall hear all written and oral
statements of the interested parties. The City Council shall base its
14:17
14.01.100 DAVENPORT CODE 14.01.110
decision on all relevant evidence presented at the public hearing,
including whether Section 14.01.090 of the chapter is applicable.
The City Council shall determine by a majority of the entire Council
either to allow the structure to be demolished or to approve the
structure for local landmark status. If the local landmark status is
approved the owner shall not be issued a demolition permit by the City.
Every effort shall be made by all parties to complete the designation
process in the most timely fashion. The City Council shall act either
allowing the structure to be demolished or designating it a local
landmark within 120 days from the date of the commission's first public
hearing.
14.01.110. Penalty. [Ord. No. 2019-02 § 4]
A. In the event work is being performed without the required certificate of
appropriateness or the certificate of economic hardship, the
commission or the commission secretary shall ask that a stop work
order be issued. In the event work is being performed which is not in
accordance with its certificate of appropriateness, the commission shall
also ask that a stop work order be issued. In addition to other penalties
and remedies, the City shall issue a stop work order, and all work shall
cease on the designated property. No additional work shall be
undertaken as long as such stop work order is in effect.
B. In the event work has been completed without the required certificate
of appropriateness or certificate of economic hardship, the owner, the
tenant, if a participating party to said work, and the person(s)
performing such work shall be guilty of a misdemeanor or municipal
infraction. Every day each such violation shall continue to exist shall
constitute a separate violation.
C. Enforcement. The City's director of community and economic
development department, or his/her designee, shall be responsible for
the enforcement of the provisions of this chapter.

Subject:
Case DNRHP25-02: Request for demolition of the Warming House at 2200 West River Drive.
Credit Island is a locally listed historic landmark. City of Davenport, petitioner. [Ward 3]
Recommendation:
Staff recommends that the Historic Preservation Commission approve demolition of the Credit
Island Warming House at 2200 West River Drive.
Findings:
1. The structure violates the 2021 International Building Code.
2. Per the Iowa Flood Center, the park shelter has a 50% annual chance of flooding in any
given year.
3. Credit Island is a locally listed historic landmark due to its association with both events
and persons that have made a contribution to the history of the city and nation. The
park shelter is not historically significant based on its own merits.
Background:
Architectural Significance:
Credit Island was designated as a local historic landmark on February 3, 1999. Its historical
significance is derived from its use as a fur trading post where tribes traded on credit, and as
the site of the Battle of Credit Island in the War of 1812. The Works Progress Administration did
extensive work at the island in 1935, including the grading of roads and other infrastructure
improvements. Former uses of the island include an amusement park, golf course, and aviation
airstrip. The property is currently owned by the City of Davenport and serves as a public park
and natural area.
Demolition Request:
The City of Davenport Parks and Recreation Department is petitioning for the complete
demolition and removal of the Warming House, located near the lagoon on the southern tip of
Credit Island. The brick structure has become unsafe due to falling bricks, cracked supports,
and a crumbling roof. The park shelter is currently fenced-off to protect public safety. Once
demolished, the debris will be disposed and the area will be returned to green space.
Any demolition or partial demolition of a nationally or locally registered property requires review
and approval from the Historic Preservation Commission. While it is not within the scope of
work at this time, a Certificate of Appropriateness Application is required for the construction of
any new park structures.
Demolition Review Process (Section 14.01.070):
No demolition permits shall be issued for local landmarks or properties within designated
historic districts prior to the commission, or the City Council upon appeal, issuing a certificate of
economic hardship. The commission shall review all the evidence and information submitted by
the applicant and receive testimony from other interested parties. If the commission finds that
the building substantially violates the City building, fire and/or housing codes or the property
owner cannot obtain a reasonable economic return therefrom, then the commission shall issue
the demolition permit. The commission shall act on each application within 60 days after the
receipt of a complete application.
Staff Review:
For the demolition of a structure within a local historic district, the Commission can approve
demolition if there is an economic hardship or if the structure substantially violates building and
fire codes.
Staff researched city records and present the following information:
1. Credit Island is a locally listed historic landmark due to its association with both events
and persons that have made a contribution to the history of the city and nation.
2. Credit Island is located within the Mississippi River floodway. The warming house is
often inaccessible due to frequent flooding events, making maintenance and
improvements difficult for park staff.
3. Based on available aerial photographs and river gauge information from the US Army
Corps of Engineers, the pavilion is prone to frequent flooding. Recent aerial photos show
the pavilion was flooded in 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024.
According to the historic flood gauge data on the Lock and Dam 15, the pavilion was
flooded 17 of the last 20 years. Flooding occurs most frequently during spring-to-
autumn periods when the pavilion would be expected to have the highest use.
4. The Warming House is approximately 1,419 square feet (33' x 43').
5. Based on available aerial images, the warming house was constructed between 1930-
1950. During this time period, the Works Progress Administration performed numerous
infrastructure projects on the island.
6. Building materials consist of brick columns and chimneys, wood framing, concrete
foundation, and an asphalt shingle roof.
7. There does not appear to be a master builder, craftsman, architect, engineer, or
landscape architect associated with the warming house.
8. The Credit Island Master Plan, completed in 2011, states, "Look at opportunities to
improve experience at lagoon through renovations or demolition of existing pavilion and
adjust first floor elevation to reduce impacts of minor flooding at pavilion area."
9. The Historic Preservation Commission approved Case COA17-01 for the rehabilitation of
the warming house. The project scope included replacing the concrete floor,
repairing/replacing soffit, and repairing/repointing brick. This project ultimately did not
move forward due to frequent flooding and financial constraints.
10. A structural report from a licensed architect or engineer has not been conducted.
However, the following observations were noted during a site visit:
1. Graffiti covers large portions of both the interior and exterior.
2. There is missing masonry on the chimneys and structural columns.
3. Masonry surfaces are deteriorated from repetitive flooding events.
4. Wood fascia is in a state of deterioration. Several sections of fascia are missing.
5. The floor of the shelter is covered in mud and debris from previous flooding
events. The condition of the concrete floor was unclear to staff.
6. The asphalt shingle roof is severely degraded, with sections peeling away from
the structure.

14.01.090 HISTORIC PRESERVATION 14.01.100
C. Ordinary repair and maintenance. This chapter is not meant to prevent
ordinary repair and maintenance activities of private property not
requiring a building or sign permit.
14.01.100. Historic structure demolition review process. [Ord. No.
2019-02 § 4]
A. If the owner(s) of record or agent applies for a demolition permit to a
building or structure listed on the National Register of Historic Places,
which to date has not been designated as a local landmark, the office of
construction code enforcement shall not issue the permit but instead
shall direct the applicant to the commission secretary. Once the office of
construction code enforcement refers the matter to the commission
secretary, all demolition activity shall stop, if started, until after the
commission or the City Council acts on the matter. The commission
secretary shall place the demolition request on the agenda for the
commission's next meeting.
B. In making its determination on whether to recommend continuance of
the demolition stoppage and consideration by the City Council for
designation as a local landmark, the commission shall consider the
criteria as stated in Section 14.01.070B of this chapter. The
commission, by a three-fourths vote of its members present may
request the City Council to review a proposed demolition permit for a
structure listed on the National Register of Historic Places which has
not, to date, been designated as a local landmark. In the event the
commission votes to delay demolition, the commission shall have staff
prepare an individual property nomination for designation as a local
landmark as outlined in Section 14.01.040. Said nomination shall be
considered by the commission in a timely manner.
In the event the commission vote to nominate the property as a local
landmark fails, the demolition permit may be issued and the matter
does not proceed to the City Council.
In the event the commission votes first to delay demolition and then
to nominate the property for designation as a local landmark, the
commission shall submit written documentation to the City Council that
the building is presently on the National Register of Historic Places,
that the criteria for designation as a local landmark as listed in Section
14.01.040 have been met and that the provisions of Section 14.01.090
of the chapter are not applicable, as well as forward any application
material submitted by the petitioner or prepared by staff relevant to
either the demolition request or the landmark nomination.
C. The City Council shall give appropriate notice that a public hearing will
be held on the demolition application and nomination for landmark
designation.
At the public hearing, the City Council shall hear all written and oral
statements of the interested parties. The City Council shall base its
14:17
14.01.100 DAVENPORT CODE 14.01.110
decision on all relevant evidence presented at the public hearing,
including whether Section 14.01.090 of the chapter is applicable.
The City Council shall determine by a majority of the entire Council
either to allow the structure to be demolished or to approve the
structure for local landmark status. If the local landmark status is
approved the owner shall not be issued a demolition permit by the City.
Every effort shall be made by all parties to complete the designation
process in the most timely fashion. The City Council shall act either
allowing the structure to be demolished or designating it a local
landmark within 120 days from the date of the commission's first public
hearing.
14.01.110. Penalty. [Ord. No. 2019-02 § 4]
A. In the event work is being performed without the required certificate of
appropriateness or the certificate of economic hardship, the
commission or the commission secretary shall ask that a stop work
order be issued. In the event work is being performed which is not in
accordance with its certificate of appropriateness, the commission shall
also ask that a stop work order be issued. In addition to other penalties
and remedies, the City shall issue a stop work order, and all work shall
cease on the designated property. No additional work shall be
undertaken as long as such stop work order is in effect.
B. In the event work has been completed without the required certificate
of appropriateness or certificate of economic hardship, the owner, the
tenant, if a participating party to said work, and the person(s)
performing such work shall be guilty of a misdemeanor or municipal
infraction. Every day each such violation shall continue to exist shall
constitute a separate violation.
C. Enforcement. The City's director of community and economic
development department, or his/her designee, shall be responsible for
the enforcement of the provisions of this chapter.

Subject:
Case COA25-05: Request for the installation of a new roof at 730 Gaines Street. The Christian
H.H. and Fanny (Voigt) Jipp House and Grocery is located within the Hamburg Local Landmark
Historic District. Gateway Redevelopment Group, petitioner. [Ward 3]
Recommendation:
A recommendation is made to approve the Certificate of Appropriateness to install a new roof at
730 Gaines Street in accordance with the submitted material.
The project was reviewed for conformance with the Standards for Review, Chapter 14.01.060 C
and D of the Davenport Municipal Code. The project meets the following standards:
1. Every reasonable effort shall be made to make the minimal number of changes
necessary to maintain a designated property in a good state of repair, thereby
minimizing the impact of the proposed alteration.
Background:
Site History:
Christian Jipp, an immigrant from Schleswig-Holstein worked as a clerk at various retail shops
along the Mississippi riverfront from 1860 to 1867. In 1868, Jipp built a grocery store at the
corner of southwest corner Gaines Street and West 8th Street. He lived in the back of the store
with his wife Henrietta and their three children Ella, Rhoda and Meta, for 10 years until he could
afford to build the attached house in 1878.
The grocery store was one of the first retail businesses to progress up the hill from the
riverfront and was a symbol of the growth of Davenport in the 1860s. The store was sold to
Kroeger and Koch in 1906 but remained a grocery until 1958 when it was converted to a
laundromat. The laundromat closed in the early 1980s and remained boarded up for over 20
years.
The Gateway Redevelopment Group (GRD) began working with City Officials in 2004 to rescue
the property from demolition. The GRD’s mission is enhancing neighborhoods by facilitating the
rehabilitation and reoccupation of abandoned buildings in the Hamburg Historic District. The
structure was designated as a local landmark in 2005 and is listed as a contributing structure in
the Hamburg Historic District. The building is currently being used as an architectural rescue
shop.
Architecture:
The commercial grocery store portion of the structure was completed in 1868. It is considered
the first retail building constructed on the bluff overlooking Davenport. The two-story Italianate
home was attached later in 1878. It is a brick structure on a stone foundation. The following
building materials are listed on the historic property inventory sheet: brick walls, stone
foundation, asphalt shingles, and wood windows. An accessory structure, which is designed as
a historic carriage house, was added in 2011.
Request:
Installation of a new roof and decking over the main house and retail store. The Yankee gutter
system will remain following completion of the project. The existing roofing material is a cedar
shake shingle, which was installed in 2005. The replacement product is Owen's Cornings Tru-
Def Duration Series. This is an architectural asphalt shingle. The color and material will match
the detached barn/garage structure at the rear of the property.
Scope of Work:
1. Remove existing roof by stripping off old cedar shake shingles.
2. Remove underlayment, flashing, and damaged decking.
3. Install synthetic underlayment across the entire roof.
4. Install new drip edge around eaves and rakes.
5. Install new shingles per manufacturer's guidelines.
6. Clean and reinstall Yankee gutter system and downspouts.
Project Review:
The Christian H.H. and Fanny (Voigt) Jipp House and Grocery was built circa 1867. Staff believe
the original structure was covered with cedar shake shingles as this was the predominant
material during this time period. According to City permits, the structure was first resurfaced
using an asphalt shingle in 1939. There were subsequent permits issued referencing asphalt
shingles in 1941, 1942, 1953, 1956, 1972, 1975, and 1976.
Asphalt shingles were invented in the United States in 1903, but were not commonly used until
the 1920s to 1930s. This is due to increased production and advancements in manufacturing,
which made asphalt shingles more affordable, durable, and readily accessible. In addition, the
National Board of Fire Underwriters promoted asphalt shingles as a safer, fire-resistant
alternative to wood shingles. Due to these factors, asphalt shingles were a logical replacement
material for the wood shakes in 1939.
In an effort to bring back the historic character of the structure, the Historic Preservation
Commission approved a Certificate of Appropriateness in 2005 to have the structure redone
using cedar shake shingles. The average lifespan of a cedar shake roof is typically between 20
to 30 years. Factors such as quality of material, roof pitch, and drainage can influence the
longevity of the roof. As evidenced by the formation of moss, there are likely issues with
moisture that have led to further deterioration of the material. This may partially be attributed
to the large tree overhanging the retail portion of the structure.
Staff are supportive of the project as it will keep the structure in a good state of repair. In
addition, the character-defining Yankee gutter system will be retained following the work.
Changing building materials can be appropriate when the original material is no longer present.
While staff believe the original roofing material was wood shingles, the structure has been
covered with asphalt shingles for approximately 66 years. The replacement wood shingle roof
installed in 2005 was historically accurate, but the material itself was not original. Therefore,
the preservation of this material is not warranted. This is considered a rehabilitation project that
keeps the property in a state of utility. The character-defining features, such as the Italianate
home and commercial space, will be preserved.

Title 14. Historic Preservation
Chapter 14.01. HISTORIC PRESERVATION
14.01.060. Certificate of appropriateness review process.
[Ord. No. 2019-02 § 4]
A. Application for certificate of appropriateness. Upon application for a building or sign permit that
involves a designated property, the office of construction code enforcement shall direct the
applicant to the commission secretary to begin the certificate of appropriateness application
process. A certificate of appropriateness must be obtained from the commission for any activity
requiring a building or sign permit, except demolition, that would change the exterior architectural
appearance of a structure designated as a local landmark or a structure located within a designated
historic district. The activities covered shall include new construction, exterior alterations,
relocations, reconstructions and infill development within designated historic districts. This approval
must be obtained prior to the commencement of work and does not relieve the applicant from
obtaining the other approvals required by the City.
B. Notification about application. The commission secretary shall inform the owner(s) of record of the
date, time and location of the commission meeting at which the application will be considered. The
commission secretary shall also post the commission's agenda on the first floor City hall bulletin
board used for such purposes no less than one business day prior to the scheduled time of the
meeting.
C. Commission review process - Standards for review. In considering an application for a certificate of
appropriateness, the commission shall be guided by the following general standards in addition to
any other standards or guidelines established by ordinance for a local landmark or historic district.
In all cases, these standards are to be applied in a reasonable manner, taking into full consideration
the issue of economic feasibility and other technical considerations.
1. Every reasonable effort shall be made to make the minimal number of changes necessary to
maintain a designated property in a good state of repair, thereby minimizing the impact of the
proposed alteration; and
2. The removal, alteration or concealing of distinguishing exterior architectural features and
historic material of a designated property should be avoided when possible; and
3. All designated property shall be recognized as a product and physical record of its time, place
and use. Changes that create a false sense of historical development, such as adding
conjectural architectural features shall be discouraged; and
4. Most properties change over time, and those changes that have acquired architectural and/or
historical significance in their own right shall be recognized, respected and retained; and
5. Distinctive architectural features, construction techniques and/or examples of craftsmanship
that characterize a designated property shall be treated with due consideration; and
6. Deteriorated architectural features should, where possible, be repaired rather than replaced.
Where the severity of deterioration requires replacement, the new feature shall match the old
https://ecode360.com/print/DA4058?guid=35577346 1/3
3/25/25, 9:56 AM City of Davenport, IA Certificate of appropriateness review process.
in design, color, texture and other visual qualities and, where possible, materials. Replacement
of missing features shall be substantiated by documentary, physical or pictorial evidence; and
7. Activities that cause deterioration of a designated property and its architectural features shall
be discouraged. In those cases where the damage would be irreversible, such as sand-
blasting and wetblasting fire-hardened bricks, the activities shall be prohibited. If cleaning is to
be done, the gentlest means possible shall be encouraged; and
8. Known significant archeological resources possibly affected by a proposed activity shall be
protected and preserved. If such resources must be disturbed, mitigation measures shall be
undertaken; and
9. New additions and related new construction shall not be discouraged when such
improvements do not destroy historic material and such design is compatible with the size,
massing, scale, color, materials and character of the property, neighborhood and district, if
applicable.
D. Design criteria to implement review standards. When the commission is considering an application
for a certificate of appropriateness, it shall consider the following architectural design criteria, or
elements of design as they relate to the standards for review prescribed in Section 14.01.040C.
1. Height. The height of any proposed addition, construction or reconstruction should be
compatible with the designated property and the surrounding structures, if located within a
designated historic district; and
2. Proportions. The proportions (width versus height relationship) between doors and windows
should be compatible, if not replicated, with the architectural design and character of the
designated property; and
3. Scale. A proposed alteration, construction, reconstruction or addition should not negatively
impact the scale of the designated property or district; and
4. Materials. Historic or original architectural features, or replacement elements which in all ways
replicated the original, should be repaired whenever possible; and
5. Relationship of building masses and spaces. The relationship of a structure within a designated
historic district to the rear, side and front yards between it and surrounding structures should
be compatible; and
6. Roof shape. The roof design and shape should remain consistent with its original configuration
and character; and
7. Site improvements. Landscaping and other site improvements, including off-street parking,
should have as minimal of an impact as possible to the designated property's original
plan/layout and its visual character.
E. Determination by the commission. The commission shall review a completed application for a
certificate of appropriateness within 60 calendar days to determine if the proposed activity will
change any exterior architectural features of the designated property. The commission shall accept,
review and request additional evidence and testimony from the applicant during the public hearing.
The commission shall work closely with the applicant and recognize the importance of finding an
appropriate way to meet the current needs of the applicant. In addition, the commission shall
recognize the importance of approving plans that will be reasonable for the applicant to carry out.
The applicant may modify his/her plans as a result of the discussions with the commission and
resubmit them for approval. If the commission finds, by a simple majority, that the proposed activity
conforms to the standards for review, as defined herein, then a certificate of appropriateness shall
be issued approving said activity. If the commission fails to decide on an application within the
specified time period, the application shall be deemed approved. If the commission denies the
certificate of appropriateness, the applicant shall have the right of appeal to the City Council
pursuant to Section 14.01.040I.
https://ecode360.com/print/DA4058?guid=35577346 2/3
3/25/25, 9:56 AM City of Davenport, IA Certificate of appropriateness review process.
F. Notification of determination. The commission secretary shall notify the owner(s) of record within 15
business days of the commission's action. If the commission denies the certificate of
appropriateness, the notification letter shall contain the reasons for denial and inform the applicant
of his/her right to appeal.
The commission secretary shall also notify the office of construction code enforcement within three
business days of the commission's action. If the commission issues the certificate of
appropriateness, the commission secretary shall inform the chief building official of said approval
and that the proposed work satisfies the intent of this chapter. However, if the commission denies
the certificate of appropriateness, the commission secretary shall ask that the building or sign
permit not be issued for said work unless an appeal to the City Council results in a reversal of the
commission's denial.
G. Appeal of commission determination. The owner(s) of record may appeal the commission's
decision to the City Council by filing a written appeal with the City Clerk's office within 30 calendar
days of the postmark date of the notification of determination.
If no written appeals are submitted with the City Clerk's office within 30 calendar days, the
commission's determination shall be the final action by the City.
H. Appeal fee. A fee of $75 shall be paid by the petitioner at the time of filing a written appeal to said
determination with the City Clerk.
I. Appeal criteria. The City Council, after hearing all of the evidence, shall review the commission's
decision and base its ruling on the following criteria:
1. Whether the commission has exercised its powers and followed the guidelines established by
law and ordinance; and
2. Whether the commission's actions were patently arbitrary and capricious.
J. Appeal — Public meeting. The City Council shall, by simple majority of the members present,
approve or disapprove the issuance of the certificate of appropriateness based upon the appeal
criteria described in Section 14.01.040I.

Subject:
Case COA25-06: Request to replace the original cast iron entry at 526 West 2nd Street. The
Iowa Reform Building is a locally listed historic landmark. VJEA LLC, petitioner. [Ward 3]
Recommendation:
A recommendation is made to approve the Certificate of Appropriateness to replace the original
cast iron entry at 526 West 2nd Street in accordance with the submitted material.
The project was reviewed for conformance with the Standards for Review, Chapter 14.01.060 C
and D of the Davenport Municipal Code. The project meets the following standards:
1. Every reasonable effort shall be made to make the minimal number of changes
necessary to maintain a designated property in a good state of repair, thereby
minimizing the impact of the proposed alteration.
2. Deteriorated architectural features should, where possible, be repaired rather than
replaced. Where the severity of deterioration requires replacement, the new feature
shall match the old in design, color, texture and other visual qualities and, where
possible, materials. Replacement of missing features shall be substantiated by
documentary, physical or pictorial evidence.
Background:
Architectural Style and Significance:
The Iowa Reform Building is a locally listed historic landmark due to its long association with
the German language press, which was popular in Davenport's German-American community
from the Civil War until World War II. The structure served as a publishing house for the Iowa
Reform newspaper for over 50 years. It ceased publication in 1943 following anti-German
attitudes at the end of World War II.
Architecturally, the structure is a well-preserved late 19th century commercial building. The
English basement with its large windows is a unique characteristic, allowing natural light and
ventilation to the basement workrooms and press rooms for the newspaper office. Distinctive
features include decorative brick work in the cornice and an original cast iron entryway on the
first floor.
Request:
Boyler's Ornamental Iron provided a scope of work to refurbish and fabricate the original cast
iron entryway. Due to deterioration and safety concerns, the property owner installed wooden
steps into the apartment unit as a temporary measure until the historic iron entry could be
reinstalled.
Scope of Work:
1. Custom metal work to refurbish historic staircase:
1. Refurbish original steps and risers of cast iron staircase.
2. Scope includes fabrication of steel stringers for attachment of historic steps and
risers.
3. Stringers will be designed for masonry attachment and adjusted to site
conditions.
4. Existing steps and decorative risers will be wire brushed after fabrication and
given an epoxy coating prior to installation.
5. Installation and mechanical attachments will be made with stainless-steel
hardware.
6. All hardware will be touched up to final finish of staircase.
2. Custom Metal Fabrication:
1. On-site repair of existing steel guards and railings.
2. All railings will be made structurally sound.
3. Damaged attachment points into the building and posts will be repaired or
welded.
4. Missing sections of steel pipe will be replaced to replicate the original design.
5. All work areas will be touched up following repairs.
Project Review:
The Iowa Reform Building is a locally and nationally listed landmark due to its cultural
significance. However, the historic property inventory sheet identifies the cast iron stairs as a
character-defining architectural feature. Therefore, preservation of this component is significant
in retaining the character of the landmark.
The most prominent architectural detail of the stairs are the ornamental risers, which will be
wire brushed after fabrication. Epoxy coating will be applied to the iron to protect against
corrosion and extend the lifespan of the material. Staff recommend using black epoxy to
replicate the appearance of iron. Finally, the scope of work includes replacing missing steel
guards and railings with new components. The design will replicate the dimensions of the
existing features. Once completed, staff believe the entryway will replicate the original steps to
the greatest extent practicable. Staff consider the scope of work to be a replacement in-kind.
The Historic Preservation Ordinance defines 'Replacement-in-kind' as,
"Means the act of replacing an architectural feature of a designated structure so as not to
alter its visual appearance and character. This is accomplished by using replacement
materials that replicate the previous historic feature in design, size, texture and visual
appearance."

SIGNIFICANCE
This building focuses attention on the German Language press which thrived in
Davenport's German-American community from the Civil War until World War II. This
building was used for more than 50 years as the publishing house for the Iowa Reform
a Democratic and later, Independent, German Language newspaper. Publisher and
editor, Adolph Petersen lived above the print shop. It is the one of two buildings
associated with the foreign press, and the only one associated with the Iowa Reform
still standing.
DESCRIPTION
Iowa Reform began publishing in July, 1884 as a semi-weekly German language news-
paper serving local tri-city Germans. Adolph Petersen, his brother Gerhard, and
later Robert Petersen were the publishers and editors of the paper from 1884 until
it ceased publication in 1943. The Reform peaked circulation in 1912 with 4,000
subscribers, in the bi-state towns. During World War I, most Iowa German papers
ceased publication because of anti-German sentiments but the Reform continued by
complying with a government requirement that each issue be translated into English
and filed with federal censors.
By 1939 the Iowa Reform was the sole surviving German paper in Iowa with a circula-
tion of 3,240. The anti-German attitudes of World War II ended the paper in 1943.

Historical Context 8B 4
In the 1890's several local merchants adopted the then new "department store" concept,
among them the Petersen and Harned-Von Maur firms. Both erected new buildings
in the city center, enabling these firms to dominate the local market well into the
20th century. After World War I, the Petersen firm was sold to Von Maur. The two
were operated separately, however, until they were consolidated in the Petersen
building in 1928.
Other commercial activity in Davenport included a variety of grocery and hardware
concerns, as well as numerous small businesses: saloons, restaurants, barbershops,
pharmacies, bakeries, millineries and the like. Some of the latter located at
neighborhood intersections as typical "corner stores" and continue to serve as
such today, particularly on the city's west side.
Underpinning the city's commercial life were the financial institutions. The
earliest were private banks, offering local specie and an assortment of scrip, all of
which suffered when the financial Panic of 1857 arrived in the midwest in 1858-59.
With the establishment of the State Bank of Iowa (1859) and passage of the National
Banking and Currency Act (1863), local banking resumed on a more reliable footing.
In the ensuing years, the Davenport National Bank (1865), Citizens National (1867)
and German and Davenport Savings banks (1869) were established as the city's major
financial institutions. Another period of new bank organization occurred in the
1880's, including the Scott Co. Savings (1883) and Union Savings (1891) banks.
Following passage of the Gold Standard Act of 1900, several local banks merged or
were rechartered, and three more were founded. In addition, a number of the major
institutions erected new buildings - large structures with modern structural systems
and devoutly conservative neoclassical facades - that along with new hotel
construction gave downtown Davenport a distinctly modern look.
Areas of Significance:
Settlement: Resources in this category include properties with general association,
such as the Claim House (1329 College) and St. Anthony's Church (4-W116), as well as
properties associated with the city's major immigrant groups. The largest and most
influential group, the Germans, is represented by such resources as Saengerfest Halle
(4W1012), East and Northwest Davenport Turner Halls (11-E2123, WH-1602), the Iowa
Reform Building (2-W526) and numerous houses, most located in the Hamburg Historic
District, that were once home to important members of the German community. The
Irish, the city's second largest immigrant group, are represented primarily by St.
Anthony's Church, Sacred Heart Cathedral (10-E406) Hibernia Hall (BR421) and are
given further recognition in the Cork Hill Historic District. Davenport's black
community, until the 1920's very small and scattered throughout the city, is
represented by the 1910 Bethel A.M.E. Church (11-W325).
H i s t o r i c a l Context 8B 5
Transportation: The major subthemes in this category are river -and rail transportation.
There are no resources directly associated with 19th century river transportation.
Most resources associated with railroad developments date from the early 20th century,
and include Government Bridge, the CRI&P FreightHouse, Union Station, and the CRI&P
elevated track, as well as the homes of pioneer railroad promoters Ambrose Fulton
(RD-E1206) and Hiram Price (BR-819).
Industry: Most of Davenport's major 19th century industrial plants are long gone,
and for the most part resources under this theme are again houses associated with
prominent industrial figures, such as Christian Mueller (6-W526) , Willimna Renwick
(TT-901), Fritz Voss (3-W1454), Henry Frahm (6-W321) and Henry Klindt (MQ824).
Industrial plants include U. N. Roberts (HA-332), Eagle Brewery (5-W1235) and
Bettendorf Metal Wheel/French & Hecht Co. (4-E601).
Commerce: Bank buildings from the 19th century were replaced in the first decades
of the 20th, and include First National (2-W201), North Harrison Trust and Savings
(HA-1601), Security Savings (2-W301) and Davenport Bank and Trust (3-W201). Several
19th century hotels remain, among them the notable Burtis-Kimball (4-E202), and
Germania-Miller (2W313). The hotel boom of the early 20th century is amply
represented in Hotel Davenport (MA-324), the Black Hawk (2-E206) and Mississippi
(3-E110). The city's retail and wholesale trades are presented primarily by
houses, such as Charles Beiderbecke's (7-W532), August Steffen, Sr.'s (6W420), J. C.
Von Maur's (RD-E1800), and J.M.D. Burrows' (CV1533), and by the Petersen's Sons'
store (2-W101).
Government/Politics: Houses associated with former mayor and prominent political
figures such as Henry Vollmer (BR-723), C.A. Ficke (MA-1208), and Hans Reimer
Claussen (6-W413) are included in this category, as are the Scott County Jail, City
Hall, and a number of fire stations that, in terms of buildings, provide a graphic
illustration of the extension of city fire protection to neighborhoods early in the
20th century.
Communications: Only a few buildings remain to associate with Davenport's once
quite varied newspaper business, among them the Democrat and Leader building (BR-407),
the Iowa Reform Building (2-W526), and the Henry Lischer (6-W520) and E. P. Adler
(14-E629) houses. Telephone and telegraph systems are represented by Union
Electric Telephone and Telegraph (HA-600) and the AT&T Building (MA-529) which
date from the early years of telephone service in the city.
Religion: This theme has been treated primarily in terms of churches' associations
with various segments of the Davenport community, and in terms of size. Thus, the
Roman Catholic faith is represented by a large number of structures, associated with
the German and Irish communities and with Davenport's status as seat of the Second
Iowa Diocese. As Davenport is also headquarters for Protestant Episcopalianism
in Iowa, Trinity Cathedral and associated structures are also included. Other
denominations represented include the Methodist Episcopal (Bethel AME (11-W325)), and
St. John's (BR1325), Presbyterian (10-1702), and Lutheran (St. Paul's, MA-1402).

Historic Preservation Ordinance
Section 14.01.060 Certificate of Appropriateness Review Process
C. Commission review process - Standards for review. In considering an application for a certificate of
appropriateness, the commission shall be guided by the following general standards in addition to any
other standards or guidelines established by ordinance for a local landmark or historic district. In all
cases, these standards are to be applied in a reasonable manner, taking into full consideration the issue
of economic feasibility and other technical considerations.
1. Every reasonable effort shall be made to make the minimal number of changes necessary to
maintain a designated property in a good state of repair, thereby minimizing the impact of the
proposed alteration; and
2. The removal, alteration or concealing of distinguishing exterior architectural features and
historic material of a designated property should be avoided when possible; and
3. All designated property shall be recognized as a product and physical record of its time, place
and use. Changes that create a false sense of historical development, such as adding conjectural
architectural features shall be discouraged; and
4. Most properties change over time, and those changes that have acquired architectural and/or
historical significance in their own right shall be recognized, respected and retained; and
5. Distinctive architectural features, construction techniques and/or examples of craftsmanship
that characterize a designated property shall be treated with due consideration; and
6. Deteriorated architectural features should, where possible, be repaired rather than replaced.
Where the severity of deterioration requires replacement, the new feature shall match the old
in design, color, texture and other visual qualities and, where possible, materials. Replacement
of missing features shall be substantiated by documentary, physical or pictorial evidence; and
7. Activities that cause deterioration of a designated property and its architectural features shall
be discouraged. In those cases where the damage would be irreversible, such as sand-blasting
and wet blasting fire-hardened bricks, the activities shall be prohibited. If cleaning is to be done,
the gentlest means possible shall be encouraged; and
8. Known significant archeological resources possibly affected by a proposed activity shall be
protected and preserved. If such resources must be disturbed, mitigation measures shall be
undertaken; and
9. New additions and related new construction shall not be discouraged when such improvements
do not destroy historic material and such design is compatible with the size, massing, scale,
color, materials and character of the property, neighborhood and district, if applicable.
D. Design criteria to implement review standards. When the commission is considering an application
for a certificate of appropriateness, it shall consider the following architectural design criteria, or
elements of design as they relate to the standards for review prescribed in Section 14.01.040C.
1. Height. The height of any proposed addition, construction or reconstruction should be
compatible with the designated property and the surrounding structures, if located within a
designated historic district; and
2. Proportions. The proportions (width versus height relationship) between doors and windows
should be compatible, if not replicated, with the architectural design and character of the
designated property; and
3. Scale. A proposed alteration, construction, reconstruction or addition should not negatively
impact the scale of the designated property or district; and
4. Materials. Historic or original architectural features, or replacement elements which in all ways
replicated the original, should be repaired whenever possible; and
5. Relationship of building masses and spaces. The relationship of a structure within a designated
historic district to the rear, side and front yards between it and surrounding structures should be
compatible; and
6. Roof shape. The roof design and shape should remain consistent with its original configuration
and character; and
7. Site improvements. Landscaping and other site improvements, including off-street parking,
should have as minimal of an impact as possible to the designated property's original
plan/layout and its visual character.

Subject:
Case COA25-07: Request for site improvements, restoration of existing structures, and new
construction at 2800 Eastern Avenue. The Iowa Soldiers' Orphans' Home Historic District is a
locally and nationally listed historic district. Annie Wittenmyer Family LLC, petitioner. [Ward 5]
Recommendation:
A recommendation is made to approve the Certificate of Appropriateness for site improvements,
restoration of existing structures, and new construction at 2800 Eastern Avenue in accordance
with the submitted material, subject to the following conditions:
1. Per the requirements of the National Park Service, the housing project shall be in
compliance with The Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation.
2. As the design for the rehabilitation project progresses, any substantial modifications
shall require a separate Certificate of Appropriateness Application and review by the

shall match the old in design, color, texture and other visual qualities and, where
possible, materials. Replacement of missing features shall be substantiated by
documentary, physical or pictorial evidence.
3. Activities that cause deterioration of a designated property and its architectural features
shall be discouraged. In those cases where the damage would be irreversible, such as
sand-blasting and wetblasting fire-hardened bricks, the activities shall be prohibited. If
cleaning is to be done, the gentlest means possible shall be encouraged.
4. New additions and related new construction shall not be discouraged when such
improvements do not destroy historic material and such design is compatible with the
size, massing, scale, color, materials and character of the property, neighborhood and
district, if applicable.
Background:
Architectural Style and Significance:
The Iowa Soldiers' Orphan's Home Historic District (Annie Wittenmyer Complex) is both a locally
and nationally designated landmark. While the history of this area is extensive, a brief summary
of its significance has been provided here:
The grounds for the Orphans’ Home were developed over 15 decades beginning with the
establishment of the Civil War Camp Roberts/Camp Kinsman and shifted into various orphanage
uses by 1865. The campus’s significance is due to several factors. It is associated with an
important social welfare effort – a state-operated orphanage for the children of Civil War
veterans and indigent families.
This is the first statewide orphanage to open in the country in the post-war period. Annie
Wittenmyer, the founder and first matron, became a national figure serving as a major
promoter of orphans’ homes. The orphanage also pioneered progressive child welfare
initiatives, including the Cottage System of orphanage operation, an early foster care placement
program, and one of Iowa’s first Montessori nursery school programs.
The residential cottages are examples of simplified Queen Anne Style while the larger buildings
are designed in the Romanesque Revival, Colonial Revival and PWA Moderne Styles. There are
also examples of English Period Cottages. In addition, the complex contains archaeological
significance dating from the early to middle Woodland Period (800 BC – 400 AD).
Project Background:
To best position the Annie Wittenmyer Campus for future redevelopment, the city intends to sell
the land south of the Aquatic Center to a private developer with experience in historic
preservation. The development will help promote the City’s objectives and provide several
public benefits: enable adaptive reuse of the facilities, provide affordable housing, ensure
historic preservation, and maintain open space.
The developer, Annie Wittenmyer Family LLC, is utilizing both state and federal historic
preservation tax credits to help finance the project. This provides an additional level of
oversight regarding historic preservation of the campus, as the National Park Service reviews
the development for compliance with The Secretary of the Interior's Standards for
Rehabilitation.
Request:
The developer submitted a Certificate of Appropriateness Application to complete the Family
Housing component of the project. The following is a summary of exterior changes to each
building.
1. Children's Cottage:
1. The building will be converted into five apartment units.
2. There are four non-original asphalt shingle panels covering a corresponding
window well on the west (rear) facade. These non-original building components
will be removed.
2. Green House Building:
1. The building will be converted into four apartment units.
2. Apartment B, located on the lower level of the west elevation, will have a set of
double steel doors removed. A new set of double doors with windows, similar in
style to the adjacent door, will be installed in its place. The purpose of the
windows is to provide natural light into the living room.
3. Ice House Building:
1. The building will be converted into six apartment units.
2. A non-original doghouse dormer will be removed from the roof. The area will be
covered with matching shingles.
3. The garage doors on the east elevation will be removed and infilled with
matching units. Since the interior of this space is an apartment unit, the doors
will not be operable. The replacement units will be made of wood and replicate
the grid pattern. The second row from the top will have windows, offering
natural light for the living spaces within. These measures are being taken to
satisfy requirements of the National Park Service, which request that the building
resemble its original character and functional appearance.
4. There are missing windows on the west elevation of the one-story addition. If
windows exist behind the plywood, then the units will be refurbished and
reinstalled. Otherwise, any replacement windows will replicate the material and
style of the units on the south elevation.
5. Brick is missing from the porch column on the east elevation. To the greatest
extent practicable, this area will be infilled with masonry units that match the
size, color, and texture of the original brick.
4. Garage Building:
1. A Certificate of Public Hazard was issued on April 19, 2022 by the Chief Building
Official and Fire Marshall.
2. The garage building was subsequently demolished in 2024.
3. A new structure will be constructed in the same location, footprint, and
dimensions as the previously demolished garage building.
4. Per a requirement of the National Parks Service, the new structure will replicate
the former garage in materials, size, massing, roof shape, color, and other visual
qualities.
5. A total of two apartment units will be within the new building.
6. Non-functioning garage doors with windows will be built to match the exterior
doors of the Ice House. Likewise, these units will not be operable and serve an
aesthetic and historic purpose.
5. Boy's Training Building:
1. The building will be converted into five apartment units.
2. A new entrance will be created on the east elevation, leading to an existing set
of double doors. A concrete split staircase will be constructed with a metal hand
railing. The design and materials will replicate the existing exterior stairs on the
same elevation.
6. Cottages (1-10):
1. A total of twenty-four units will be created within the existing cottage buildings.
2. Cottages 1-4, 6, and 10 will be retrofitted into two apartment units.
3. Cottages 5 and 7-9 will be converted into three apartment units.
4. The steel fire escape slides will be removed from each building.
7. Site Improvements:
1. Parking areas: A total of 96 parking spaces will be provided for the family
housing project. Parking stalls are generally located in previously development
areas on the property. The functional circulation of vehicles and pedestrians
throughout the campus will remain. The site has driveway access to both Eastern
Avenue and East 29th Street.
2. Dog walk: A 1,000-square-foot dog walk area will provide an amenity space for
pet owners adjacent to the new garage building. Fencing materials have not yet
been identified.
3. Dumpster enclosures: A total of three dumpster enclosures are proposed for the
family housing project. Details on the type of wall, fence, gate, and landscaping
have not yet been provided.
General Building Maintenance and Improvements:
Masonry:
A complete project scope of brick restoration has yet to be identified. However, it is evident that
cleaning, tuck pointing, and brick replacement are needed. Staff recommend a mortar analysis
be performed prior to tuckpointing the brick facade of each structure. The purpose of a mortar
analysis is to determine the three components of historic mortar: the binder, fines, and the
sand/aggregate. Using improper mortar can result in brick spalling. The applicant indicated a
mortar analysis would be conducted prior to the start of work per requirements of the National
Park Service.
The work write-up indicates deteriorated brick will be replaced with historic brick. However,
additional information on the type, dimensions, color, or texture of the replacement brick has
not been submitted for review. Therefore, staff recommend a condition that the replacement
brick visually match the existing masonry units.
The Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation recommends the following practices
for tuckpointing and brick replacement:
1. Replacing in kind an entire masonry feature that is too deteriorated to repair - if the
overall form and detailing are still evident - using physical evidence to guide the new
work. Examples can include large sections of walls. If using the same kind of material is
not technically or economically feasible, then a compatible substitute material may be
considered.
2. Repairing masonry walls and other masonry features by repointing the mortar joints
where there is evidence of deterioration.
3. Removing deteriorated mortar by carefully hand-raking the joints to avoid damaging the
masonry.
4. Duplicating old mortar in strength, composition, color, and texture.
5. Duplicating old mortar joints in width and in joint profile.
Windows:
The applicant's overall intent is to repair existing windows when available. Any replacement
units will resemble existing windows on the structure in material and appearance. However, a
window survey documenting the existing condition of each unit within the development has not
yet taken place.
The purpose of a survey is to identify the extent of deterioration and to provide a decision basis
as to whether the windows should be repaired or replaced. The developer intends to perform
this analysis and submit it to the National Park Service for review.
The Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation recommends the following practices
for window repair and replacement:
1. Identifying, retaining, and preserving windows-and their functional and decorative
features-that are important in defining the overall historic character of the building.
2. Protecting and maintaining the wood and architectural metal which comprise the
window frame, sash, muntins, and surrounds through appropriate surface treatments
such as cleaning, rust removal, limited paint removal, and re-application of protective
coating systems.
3. Repairing window frames and sash by patching, splicing, consolidating or otherwise
reinforcing. Such repair may also include replacement in kind--or with compatible
substitute material--of those parts that are either extensively deteriorated or are missing
when there are surviving prototypes such as architraves, hoodmolds, sash, sills, and
interior or exterior shutters and blinds.
4. Replacing in kind an entire window that is too deteriorated to repair-if the overall form
and detailing are still evident-using the physical evidence to guide the new work. If
using the same kind of material is not technically or economically feasible, then a
compatible substitute material may be considered.
Roofs:
An assessment on the condition of each roof has not yet been performed. However, it is evident
that complete or partial roof replacement is warranted. The developer expressed that roofing
material will be replaced in-kind. This includes both pitched and flat-roofed structures on the
campus. Flat roofs appear to be covered with a rubber membrane. Whereas, pitched roofs are
protected with an asphalt architectural shingle. Staff are supportive of roof replacement
materials that will maintain the historic integrity of the structure and keep the building in a good
state of repair.
Building Code Compliance:
Since the existing structures will be retrofitted into housing units, additional code requirements
will need to be addressed. The most impactful alterations to the exterior of structures will be
venting for kitchens, bathrooms, and laundry rooms. Detailed building plans have not yet
identified the locations of venting apparatuses and covers.

Historic Preservation Ordinance
Section 14.01.060 Certificate of Appropriateness Review Process
C. Commission review process - Standards for review. In considering an application for a certificate of
appropriateness, the commission shall be guided by the following general standards in addition to any
other standards or guidelines established by ordinance for a local landmark or historic district. In all
cases, these standards are to be applied in a reasonable manner, taking into full consideration the issue
of economic feasibility and other technical considerations.
1. Every reasonable effort shall be made to make the minimal number of changes necessary to
maintain a designated property in a good state of repair, thereby minimizing the impact of the
proposed alteration; and
2. The removal, alteration or concealing of distinguishing exterior architectural features and
historic material of a designated property should be avoided when possible; and
3. All designated property shall be recognized as a product and physical record of its time, place
and use. Changes that create a false sense of historical development, such as adding conjectural
architectural features shall be discouraged; and
4. Most properties change over time, and those changes that have acquired architectural and/or
historical significance in their own right shall be recognized, respected and retained; and
5. Distinctive architectural features, construction techniques and/or examples of craftsmanship
that characterize a designated property shall be treated with due consideration; and
6. Deteriorated architectural features should, where possible, be repaired rather than replaced.
Where the severity of deterioration requires replacement, the new feature shall match the old
in design, color, texture and other visual qualities and, where possible, materials. Replacement
of missing features shall be substantiated by documentary, physical or pictorial evidence; and
7. Activities that cause deterioration of a designated property and its architectural features shall
be discouraged. In those cases where the damage would be irreversible, such as sand-blasting
and wet blasting fire-hardened bricks, the activities shall be prohibited. If cleaning is to be done,
the gentlest means possible shall be encouraged; and
8. Known significant archeological resources possibly affected by a proposed activity shall be
protected and preserved. If such resources must be disturbed, mitigation measures shall be
undertaken; and
9. New additions and related new construction shall not be discouraged when such improvements
do not destroy historic material and such design is compatible with the size, massing, scale,
color, materials and character of the property, neighborhood and district, if applicable.
D. Design criteria to implement review standards. When the commission is considering an application
for a certificate of appropriateness, it shall consider the following architectural design criteria, or
elements of design as they relate to the standards for review prescribed in Section 14.01.040C.
1. Height. The height of any proposed addition, construction or reconstruction should be
compatible with the designated property and the surrounding structures, if located within a
designated historic district; and
2. Proportions. The proportions (width versus height relationship) between doors and windows
should be compatible, if not replicated, with the architectural design and character of the
designated property; and
3. Scale. A proposed alteration, construction, reconstruction or addition should not negatively
impact the scale of the designated property or district; and
4. Materials. Historic or original architectural features, or replacement elements which in all ways
replicated the original, should be repaired whenever possible; and
5. Relationship of building masses and spaces. The relationship of a structure within a designated
historic district to the rear, side and front yards between it and surrounding structures should be
compatible; and
6. Roof shape. The roof design and shape should remain consistent with its original configuration
and character; and
7. Site improvements. Landscaping and other site improvements, including off-street parking,
should have as minimal of an impact as possible to the designated property's original
plan/layout and its visual character.
