Pavilion and greenhouse, Central Park, Davenport, Iowa, Vander Veer Botanical Park

Description

In 1885 the city of Davenport acquired the property that had been the Scott County Fairgrounds. It is a significant example of landscape planning, and of the civic improvements that were being made by the city in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Five years after the land was purchased and improved it was named Central Park after New York City's park of the same name. Central Park was renamed Vander Veer after an early Davenport park commissioner in 1911. The park consists of 70.8 acres located at 215 West Central Park Avenue, Davenport, Scott County, Iowa, and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. 1909 postmark.
