Arthur Ebeling

Arthur H. Ebeling (1882-1965) was a prominent Davenport architect in the first half of the 20th century. He was born in neighboring Rock Island, Illinois. The family moved to Davenport when he was a boy and he was educated in the local public schools where he graduated with honors.[2] He learned the architectural craft from his seven-year apprenticeship with Gustav Hanssen and Dietrich Harfst in Davenport.[3] He then left for Chicago where he studied architecture and engineering. Ebeling returned to Davenport in 1908 and began his own architectural practice. He married Bridget "Belle" McCarthy (1878-1968) and together they had four children Arthur, Paul, Mary Alice, and Patricia.[4]

It features a hipped roof covered in red clay tiles, a full-length front porch, and an entrance vestibule in the back of the house. The exterior is covered in pink-tan face-brick laid in a stretcher bond pattern.[5] The window sills, water table, and quoins are concrete slabs. The façade is symmetrical with three bays. The porch roof is supported by brick piers with concrete caps. The balustrade is solid brick and features panels with a lions' head reliefs on both sides. The main entrance is framed by sidelights.
