HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION 07.14.2026

The Historic Preservation Commission of Davenport met on July 14, 2026, to review a request for replacement windows at 724 West 8th Street, a contributing structure in the Hamburg local historic landmark district. The petitioner, Ann Scranton, sought approval to replace five window units on the east side of the property with new double-hung aluminum-clad wood windows that match the existing style, size, and operation. The commission discussed the challenges of finding matching custom-sized windows and the importance of maintaining the historic appearance. They approved the staff recommendation to conditionally approve the replacement windows, subject to final product selection and review by city staff. The commission also briefly discussed the administration of the DREAM program and emphasized the need for applicants to provide more detailed project information in future submissions to facilitate review and approval processes.
