History

Theodore Eldridge was a cousin of early Davenport settler and land speculator D.C. Eldridge. Theodore operated a restaurant and confectionery downtown where he lived upstairs until moving here in 1878.[2]

Architecture

The Theodore Eldridge house is one of several Italianate style houses in Davenport that follow the Villa form of the style. It combines the rectangular shape and hipped roof of the basic style with a Villa-style tower. The most unusual feature of this house is its bowed front wall.[2] It suggests the work of one of Davenport's first professional architects Willet Carroll.
