Title: Outing Club, Davenport, Iowa
Description: In the early 1890s the Rev. A.M. Judy of First Unitarian Church saw a need for a place for the young people of his congregation to gather for recreation and sporting activities. He enlisted the support of the Unity Club and they found that the estate of J.D. Brewster on Brady Street near Central Park, now Vander Veer Botanical Park, was available. The house would serve as a clubhouse and the grounds were large enough to support tennis and a variety of field sports. A larger clubhouse was required and a Colonial Revival structure was built at the turn of the century. It included dining rooms, smoking and billiard rooms, a reading room and a ball room. A fire destroyed the building in April 1905, but it was rebuilt and opened in July of the same year. The club has continued to grow over the years and it has expanded its facilities and activities. It is located at 2109 Brady Street, Davenport, Scott County, Iowa. 1911 postmark.
