13. 1034 23rd Street – Duvon House
Broadway National Register Historic District: 1998
Architectural Style: Tudor Revival with Prairie-style influences
Construction Date: circa 1911
Arthur and Etta Duvon built this house circa 1911. He was the manager of Rock Island Lumber and Manufacturing after its Weyerhaeuser-Denkmann heyday, but also served as vice-president of Black Hawk Savings and Loan. Members of the Duvon family lived in this home until the mid-1940s.
The Duvon House has been preserved very well over the years. Tudor Revival and Prairie styles blend in this stucco home with beautiful leaded and stained glass window casements. The form is mostly Tudor Revival with the vertical structure and echo of stucco and timbering in the front gable, along with parapet porch walls and shallow pointed window arches. However, other details tend toward Prairie style with the horizontal casement windows and minimal window hoods.
