2955 15th Avenue
Exterior Residential Paint
Built: 1928

Since 1991, carpeting has been removed, walls and ceilings painted, and the garage door and roof, which included 55 feet of copper valley, hips, ridges and gutters, were replaced.

This home has many features that make it a fine example of Tudor-Style architecture. The steeply pitched, cross-gabled roof, stucco cladding and sloping end porch are all characteristics of this style. The front façade presents a three-sided modest bay on the first floor and a shallow square suspended bay with decorative false half timbering on the second level.

1134 12th Avenue
Returning to Single Family Residence
Built: c. 1870s

This Eclectic Tudor is thought to have begun as a wood frame Italianate house built in the late 1870s. The addition that changed it to an Eclectic Tudor with stucco clad exterior was compelted during the early twentieth century. Current honors have spent the last five years converting this house, which had been converted into a duplex and then four apartments, back into a single family home. The removal of walls, carpet, paneling, and the restoration of archways and other details have brought this house back to its early twentieth century splendor.

Exterior Residential Paint
Built: 1929

This one story home has six rooms with 1 ½ baths. The home’s hipped roof features both front and side facing hipped half-dormers with simple windows and a wide eve overhand. The full-length front porch is enclosed with a simple wooden balustrade and the front steps are flanked by short Doric columns perched on solid brick piers. Slender wooden clapboard siding and a south facing square bay resting on a brick foundation are all characteristics of Craftsman architecture.

1818 8th Avenue
Sympathetic New Construction
Christ Episcopal Church
Original Building Built: 1894
Addition Built: 2003

Members of this church first met in 1891. The first building was raised in 1894 one the corner of 8th Avenue and 18th Street, and dedicated on
January 6, 1895. The church was gothic in style, including pointed arch windows and doorways and decorative verge boards on the front facing side gables. The original exterior facade was clad in narrow clapboard siding painted gray. In 1947, the church underwent extensive restoration. The exterior was faced with red brick, and the gothic windows and doorways were framed in natural limestone. In 2002, a 1980-built parish hall was demolished for construction of a larger parish hall, kitchen and offices. Located on the north side of the original 1894 building, the new parish hall is set back from the street and church so the architectural integrity of the original building and the north facing stained glass windows could be retained.

2126 12th Street
Exterior Residential Paint
Built: 1922

This bungalow is painted a warm dark blue accented with white trim. The side-gabled low sloping shed roof is intersected with a double window front-gabled dormer. The side gables display large white decorative horseshoe-arched knee braces under the deep overhanging eaves. The full-length front porch utilizes battered or sloping wooden columns, which sit upon rusticated stone block piers. A simple wooden balustrade and brick faced steps with an aggregated stone cap complete the porch. Original wooden windows incorporate small rectangular upper sash glazing and wide wooden casings, which are typical of this style. Recent projects include replacing the front door, front steps and railings to match the porch balustrade and pillars.

3018 Tudor Court
Exterior Residential Restoration
Built: 1935

This English Tudor home features a steeply gabled roofline, small leaded glass windows with decorative stonework and rusticated stone quoins on the corners. The front entrance features a large stone doorframe with small paneled, leaded glass windows above. The shuttered windows have a heavy stone sill and decorative curved lintel. The house originally had a fireproof roof that had been replace before the current owners purchased the house. In 1994, the couple was awoke by their dog, which was reacting to a fire caused by a storm. 40% of the roof was lost, water damaged the third and second floors, and smoke damaged the entire house. Afterwards, carpet was replaced, walls repainted and a new slate-looking roof product made from cement was purchased in Wisconsin to replicate the original slate roof.

2330 11th Street
Exterior Residential Paint and Maintenance
Built: 1929

Located in Moline’s Morgan Park neighborhood, this home possesses a balanced appearance with its classical centered front door with elliptical fanlight flanked by carved pilasters. The double hung sash windows with stone sills are accented with black shutters. A full height masonry fireplace chimney dominates the north face of the façade separating two quarter-circle windows near the roofline, which give light to the finished third floor attic. A wide wooden frieze is visible at the roofline and a triangular pediment and classically profiled cornice can be seen beneath the side-gable roof.
