The Historic Preservation Commission of Davenport held a meeting on August 11, 2026, primarily focused on reviewing and approving a certificate of appropriateness for the Krauss Best House, a contributing structure in the Hamburg local landmark historic district. The discussion centered on a restoration project to return the garage and living space to its historic 1910 Spanish mission architectural style, including modifications to garage doors, window openings, and wall repairs. The project has received funding from the Iowa State Historic Preservation Office and has passed several review phases. The commission unanimously approved the proposed exterior restoration work, emphasizing compliance with historic preservation standards. Additionally, the commission received updates on the Preserve Iowa Summit scheduling and upcoming training opportunities but did not discuss new procurement or contracting actions.
