Renwick Building

The Renwick Building, a historic gem in downtown Davenport, Iowa, is a notable example of Chicago Commercial Style architecture. Originally built in 1893 and reconstructed in 1901 after a fire, it features a striking red brick façade and large windows designed by Danish architect Frederick G. Clausen. The building has a rich history, having served various furniture businesses and recently transformed into loft-style apartments and commercial spaces. It is recognized on the National Register of Historic Places and is famous for its large painted sign celebrating the Bix 7 Road Race, making it a unique stop for tourists and researchers interested in local history and architecture.
