The First National Bank of Davenport is an historic building located in central Davenport, Iowa, United States. The three-story Modern Movement building was built in 1967 for the First National Bank of Davenport, a part of the Brenton Bank network in Iowa. Architecurally, the building took on the new formalist modernism that is also exemplified in the Davenport Public Library building downtown.[2] After the bank discontinued its operations, the building was acquired by the Davenport Community School District for its offices and other programs. In July 2018 the school district moved its operations into a former school building across the street. Newbury Living of West Des Moines, Iowa is converting the building into a mixed-use project that includes 35 market-rate apartments.[3][4] It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2018.[1]
