732 Gaines Street Davenport IA 52802


      Gateway Redevelopment Group (GRG), a 501 (c)(3) not-for-profit organization was formed by a group of neighbors with the desire to save the abandoned historic structures in Davenport’s Hamburg Historic District. Our first challenge was the Jipp home and grocery at the corner of 8th and Gaines.

 

Christian Jipp Home and Grocery, store built 1868 home added 1878.

The Jipp serves not only as our office, but a place to tell the story of the Jipp's place in the Hamburg Historic District, the neighborhood resource center, and the home of our

 Architectural Rescue Shop

The shop is used to collect, preserve, restore, and display architectural items from other vintage houses being renovated or demolished in the Quad Cities.  The profits from the sale of these items are used to help in the restoration of this and other abandoned homes in our neighborhood.
