context_page_description: The city of Davenport, Iowa, United States has neighborhoods dating back to the 1840s. The Davenport Plan and Zoning Commission divided the city into five areas: downtown, central, east end, near north, and northwest and west end. The neighborhoods contain many architectural designs, including Victorian, Queen Anne, and Tudor Revival. Many of the original neighborhoods were first inhabited by German settlers.
context_section_description: At the time northwest Davenport was developed, during a post-Civil War expansion, it consisted of the area around Locust Street, Marquette Street, and Washington Street. The area housed many working-class Germans; it was plotted in the 1850s, and extensive development occurred in the 1870s. The houses were mostly one and a half- to two-story front gable American Foursquare and simplified Queen Anne buildings. The area around five-points, where three streets come together to form a five-point intersection, contained the bulk of the commercial structures. Alterations or replacements of almost all of the original buildings has diminished the significance of this historic area. The West End part of the area is filled with people who are mildly poor to the point of Poverty and several are classified to be uneducated.
  Riverview Terrace is a neighborhood that contains twenty-four houses and a 3-acre (12,000 m²) park. Riverview Terrace runs along Clay Street from Fillmore Street northwest to the edge of the old Marycrest International University. On the south side is Riverview Terrace Park, originally called Lookout Park, which is located on a large steep hill. The area around the park contains large Italianate, Georgian, and Federal-style houses. Beyond the park are smaller houses and brick streets.
