The L. P. Best Mansion, garage, and chauffer's quarters were sensitively converted to premium apartments in 1928 when the house was only 18 years old. This quiet apartment complex in Davenport's Gold Coast, located just 2 blocks from downtown Davenport and 3 blocks from the Palmer College campus, is situated in a park like setting on over an acre of land, with ample off street parking. This fine mansion provides a unique ambiance and quality surroundings, that will not be found in modern cookie cutter type apartments. Our goal is to preserve this very important architectural masterpiece, and at the same time provide unique, quality, housing. ARCHITECTURE The architectural style of the mansion is Spanish Mission Revival. The interior detailing is in the Arts and Crafts style. The mansion was designed by Davenport's leading architectural firm, Clausen and Clausen. Advanced for its time, the structure constructed entirely of masonry with reinforced concrete and hollow-tile floor systems to provide an increased level of sound control and resist fire. Owner pays HEAT, hot water, water, sewer, trash, lawn care, snow removal. Tenant pays electric and cooking gas. Smoke-free building.
