History

The grocery store was completed in 1868 by Christian Jipp, an immigrant from present-day Germany. It was one of the first retail buildings that was built on the bluff in Davenport. [3] Jipp, his wife and three daughters lived in the back of the store until the house was added in 1878. He operated the store until 1906 and the store itself remained open until 1958 when it was converted into a laundromat and the house became a rental property. The building had been vacate for 20 years and was slated by the city for demolition in 2004 when the Gateway Redevelopment Group received private and public funds to stabilize the structure and then to renovate it. The building now serves as the Architectural Rescue Shop, which collects, restores, preserves and sells old architectural items. There is also an apartment on the second floor of the structure. [4]
