40. 1710 Lincoln Court – Channon House

Broadway National Register Historic District: 1998

Architectural Style:
Craftsman

Construction Date: 1915

This small Craftsman style home has undergone some major changes since it was built in 1915. Until 1997, the front porch was enclosed and the original siding had been covered up with aluminum siding. During one Great Unveiling, the replacement siding was removed and the front porch was reopened. The home was painted in period-appropriate colors of yellow with gold, blue and cream accents. A period style coach house replaced another single car garage. Be sure to notice the spectacular view of both downtown Rock Island and Davenport.

Lucy Reynolds Channon built the house when she was 65 years old. The town of Reynolds was named after her father, who was in the railroad business.
