38. 1036 21st Street – West House
Broadway National Register Historic District: 1998
Architectural Style: Queen Anne
Construction Date: circa 1900
This Queen Anne home was built around 1900 for Russell and Marie West. Russell was a clerk at the Rock Island Arsenal. The West family lived here for approximately 15 years. It was then home to Fred and Marie Pollard for about 35 years. Fred was a salesman for various companies.
Be sure to notice the double front gable, which is an important architectural feature. The decorative modillions, which appear under the smaller gable, are also a classic Queen Anne feature. The sun porch at the left was added during the 1940s, about the same time the Craftsman-inspired front entry was altered. Also notice the original brick garage, built around 1920. These early masonry garages are rare because most were removed or enlarged as automobiles became larger.
