Mack House (ca 1891)
841 19th Street

Harvey D. Mack bought this house in 1892. At the time, he was an agent for the CB&Q Railroad and later became the president of Blackhawk Building and Loan Association. The Mack family lived in the home until the late 1920s. It was converted into apartments around 1935. The corner tower with a bellcast (flared) roof and complex overall roof shape are hallmarks of the Queen Anne style. Other details include the four small twelve-paned windows on the third story as well as a fancy transom above the large front window. Delicate columns support the gabled porch. This home was ÒunveiledÓ in recent years, exposing the original clapboard walls.
