17. 810 22nd Street – Hartz House
Broadway National Register Historic District: 1998
Architectural Style: Queen Anne
Construction Date: 1900
The William and Elizabeth Hartz House is a fine example of the Queen Anne style. While no corner tower is present, the many gables, asymmetrical roofline, shingled gables, massive chimneys, bay windows and leaded glass, contribute to the exuberant, visual variety typical of the Queen Anne style.
William T. Hartz, the owner of a small drugstore in downtown Rock Island, had this house built in 1900 by his father-in-law, John Volk. In 1940, the home was transformed into a duplex, although the Hartz family continued to own the house until 1970. Other structures built by Volk include Broadway Presbyterian Church, the Old Rock Island High School, the old Watch Tower Inn, the Masonic Temple, as well as many homes throughout the city. He was also contracted to restore the Davenport home on Arsenal Island in the early 1900s.
