ReplyDeleteI own this building now at 825 W. 4th St
Davenport, Iowa
We have a Furnitue store Furnish123quadcities.com
On the showroom floor and we would love to expand the 2nd and 3rd floors at some point in time into something great. We had a haunted house House of 1000 Screams for 3 years on the 2nd and 3rd Floors
An interesting tidbit my great grandmother worked for Krause Overalls and the group she worked with made my grandmother baby bib overalls as a gift when she was born, that my aunt has on display at her home.
I am looking forward to finding more history on the Krause building to make a history board to display. This information you provided will help as I try and get into some area archives for more information and pictures. Thank you 😊
