The Lewis M. Fisher House is a historic building located on the east side of Davenport, Iowa, United States. It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1983. [1]
Fisher was born and raised in Clayton County, Iowa where he was educated in the local public schools. His father, Maturin, had been president of the Iowa Senate. [2] He did his undergraduate work in Wisconsin and received a law degree from the State University of Iowa, where he graduated valedictorian of his class. He moved to Davenport where he entered a partnership named Heinz & Fisher. The firm provided legal services, loans, and real estate services. [3] From 1885 to 1891 he served as the city attorney. [2] Fisher married Laura Provost in 1883 and they raised three children. They started living in this house in 1896.
The Lewis M. Fisher house sits prominently on a corner lot that features a steep a terrace. The plan and the massing of the house, along with the three-story corner tower, reflects the Queen Anne style. The gable-end pediments and the Palladian window are Neoclassical decorative elements. Combining these elements in a single structure was common of houses built in the late 19th century. [3]
