Fejervary Park, Davenport, Iowa
-
Description
-
View of the gardens at the 75-acre, Fejervary Park which is located at 1800 West 12th Street, Davenport, Scott County, Iowa. The property for Fejervary Park was given to the city by Celestine Fejérváry, a daughter of Nicholas Fejérváry. He was a Hungarian nobleman who came to Davenport as a refuge in 1853 following the failure of an insurrection in his native Hungary. The park was the site of Fejervary’s estate. He chose the location for his home because the steep bluffs with a view of the Mississippi River reminded him of his home on the Danube River. 1913 postmark.
