Description: A 1910 Sanborn Fire Insurance Map cropped to show a commercial block in Downtown Davenport, Iowa, United States. In the upper left corner of the block is the former J.H.C. Petersen's Sons' Store. It is connected across the alley to the J.H.C. Petersen's Sons Wholesale Building (gold). The Schick's Express and Transfer Co. (pink) is immediately adjacent to the Petersen's Wholesale Building on the right. To the left of the Wholesale Building along Front Street (now River Drive) are the Schauder Hotel and the Clifton-Metropolitan Hotel on the corner. They eventually became part of the Petersen's store and were used for storage. Note the railroad siding on Front Street. Most of the buildings on this map are no longer extant.
