Homrighausen Endowment for Publications FIGGE ART MUSEUM | DAVENPORT, IOWA COPYRIGHT MATERIAL County Fair, 1934 2 COPYRIGHT MATERIAL JOHN BLOOM: CLOSE TO HOME In 1950, John Vincent Bloom (1906-2002) completed County Fair (page 2). Inspired by the fair held in DeWitt, Iowa, the painting includes a crowd watching a horse race with farm fields and a train in the background. An onlooker blocks a young boy’s view, while in the distance a mother struggles to drag her child to the outhouse. The local subject matter, stylized figures, vibrant color palette, and humorous vignettes all distinguish the painting as a work by John Bloom. Understandably, his artwork has become a source of pride and nostalgia for area residents. Many distinctive qualities of Bloom’s artwork can be traced back to his boyhood, while his training at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, his time with Grant Wood Study for County Fair, 1930s and work as an industrial designer offer insight into his motivations and his progression as an artist.

  • 100335 City of Davenport Green City.Pdf
    Recycled paper? Check. Hybrid cars in fleet? Yes. LED traffic signals? Years ago. Waterless urninals? Sure, along with an internationally recognized sewage treatment plant. Green roofs? Brown at the moment, but Spring will soon be here. Home grown fuels? Of course, this is Iowa. CNU membership? That, a revised zoning code and multiple new urban projects underway. Signatory to the US Conference of Mayors Climate Protection Agreement? Done. Paperless office? Ah…we’re trying… The City of Davenport’s “Green City” initiative is a key strategy to lead the revitalization of our region. A historic city on the banks of the Mississippi in the heart of the farm belt, Davenport long led the Quad Cities with a proud manufacturing history. But, like many old manufacturing cities, we lost jobs by the hundreds and thousands and suffered double digit percentage population losses as globalized manufacturing hit the community hard as the last century closed. Some thought Davenport was to be another cast off America city, who had seen its heyday and now watched on the sidelines as the nation recast its lot with sprawling sunbelt and suburban communities. As a national strategy, urban disinvestment is neither pretty nor sustainable. Luckily, Davenport suffers neither from a lack of Midwestern resilience nor pluck. We are the place where railroads first crossed the Mississippi, opening the west and giving jazz to the nation as river roots music traveled up the river and morphed east / west along the tracks. We are the largest American city that lives with the river that gives us life without costly and environmentally suspect levees (more on this to follow).

  • Historic Preservation
    Davenport 2025: Comprehensive Plan for the City Historic Preservation - 155 - Davenport 2025: Comprehensive Plan for the City Summary The historic preservation chapter (1986) of the city’s comprehensive plan asks the question, “What is ‘historic preservation?’” The answers provided by the authors are still true today: Put simply, historic preservation is the national movement to conserve the human-made environment. It includes efforts to protect buildings, structures, sites and neighborhoods associated with important people, events and developments. It is a movement which draws from the disciplines of history, architecture and archaeology and links us with our heritage.1 The 1986 chapter established five goals for Davenport’s historic preservation efforts: protect and enhance the character of the community’s significant neighborhoods and landmarks, coordinate local preservation efforts between the public and private sector, develop tools to create a favorable preservation climate, use preservation to strengthen the local economy, and increase the public awareness of the community’s history, culture, and heritage to create a sense of pride, place, and continuity.2 Davenport, like many communities across the country, experienced mixed preservation results over the past twenty years. The community has established numerous local and national historic districts in our community’s neighborhoods. State and local governments have cooperated to strengthen the city’s preservation programs in specific instances. The city has created incentives that can be used to preserve, protect, and enhance our built environment. On the downside, the city has failed to capitalize economically on its history, and the community has mixed feelings about the methods of and the reasons for historic preservation.
