11. 903 23rd Street – McCandless House
Broadway National Register Historic District: 1998
Architectural Style: Colonial Revival
Construction Date: 1901
Another excellent example of Colonial Revival architecture in the Broadway neighborhood is the Dr. Albert McCandless House. Symmetry is seen in the pilasters at each corner, even fenestration and matched dormers. Other Colonial Revival features include the dentils under the roof edge and under the porch roof and the pediment and sidelights surrounding the center second story window.
McCandless, a dental surgeon, built this home in 1901 at a cost of $5,000. He was diagnosed with tuberculosis in 1915 and moved to Denver, Colorado where he died a few years later. Mrs. McCandless remained in Rock Island, and held weekly meetings of The History Club in this home.
