The house at 318–332 Marquette Street is a historic building located in the West End of Davenport, Iowa, United States. The multiple-dwelling residential building was built by Lorenz Wahl who operated a grocery store. It has eight units, which housed mainly short term tenants over the years.[2] The building is a 1½ story, side gable structure with small windows below the eaves. The units are symmetrically arranged with a door on the front and two windows to the side. While rare today, it was a common housing option in the years before and after the American Civil War when poor immigrants and laborers were moving into the city and created a housing shortage.[2] It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1983.[1]
