Discover a rare architectural gem nestled in Rock Island - a stunning 1911 Spanish Colonial Revival located in HISTORIC Highland Park!

One glance at the curvilinear parapet on the south wall, reminiscent of Californian Spanish missions, & you'll be transported to another time & place. A gallery of arched openings mimics window shapes. The interior is built around a central courtyard featuring a fountain & fiberglass ceiling - a rarity in the Midwest! Round-topped windows are nestled under iconic parapet. A wood trellis frames entrance to a generous & private side yard. A distinct gallery on 22nd St side, enhances the Spanish allure. Unique chimney w/ decorative brickwork reflects undertones of Prairie & Craftsman style. Original Ludowici French clay tile roof was replaced in 2001 w/ modern Mission-style concrete tiles, seamlessly blending past & present.
