The J.H.C. Petersen's Sons Wholesale Building was an historic building located in downtown Davenport, Iowa, United States. It was built in 1910 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.^[1]

History

The building was located where this parking ramp now stands.

The building was one of five buildings that was a part of the J.H.C. Petersen's Sons' Store. It was built as a warehouse between 1909 and 1910 during a period of expanding sales for the store.^[2] It stood between the Schick's Express and Transfer Co. building and the former Schauder Hotel. All three of these buildings along with the Clifton-Metropolitan Hotel on the corner of River Drive and Main Street were torn down to make way for a parking structure and the Davenport Skybridge. The property was delisted from the National Register in 2014.^[3]

Architecture

Designed by the Davenport architectural firm of Clausen & Clausen, the building expresses a local adaptation of the Chicago Commercial style. Its internal structure is conservatively expressed in the facade.^[2] The exterior was covered in brick, which allowed for the use of large windows and improved daylight illumination on the interior. The wide segmented arches on the fourth floor and above the main entrance are simply decorative elements.
