Loved this...I'm a davenport girl..drive by these buildings all the time..I now understand and have more respect for what is right in front of me....thank you..well done!!

Our ancestors were definitely into fallen angel worship, this is nearly a record of the book of Enoch

I would love to see more of these my friend, love the music and all the fine tuning you add to it, makes learning alternate history even more enjoyable....can’t wait to see what ya come up with next

3 sets of my great grandparents were some of the first German settlers that came to Davenport in the 1850s . They are buried in the Davenport historical cemetery downtown. Also I remember the Petersons Building downtown. I went there as a child in the 1960s to shop. It was very historical. All wooden floors. I loved it.

Hey I'm from davenport and I love learning about buildings I've seen before davenport is a great city rich in history

Living in Davenport for most of my life and living so close to downtown. I never knew the deep history within it. I’ve only ever known the history of central, Palmer college, and the figge. So thank you for this!

As a Davwnport resident and office tenant of the US Bank downtown I have enjoyed immensely. Thank for your time and wffort

Dude very well done, I could sit and watch for hours, love digging in to things like this, love learning our-story knowing now that his-story has truly nothing to do with us....

It’s also interesting the First National Bank was built first with 3, then 6, now 9 levels. 3 6 9

So intriguing . I had to watch again . Yes I would love to see more.

I found this video Fascinating, I truly enjoyed it! I would love to see more on it. Thank you.

I love Iowa!! My daughter used to live in Davenport....now in Ankeny!!! I'm totally in love with the state!!! I'm a MN girl, but definitely want to move 4 hours south!!! ❤️

I have lived here since 79'. Grew up on Kirkwood Blvd where they run the Bix 7 marathon. Just a few blocks up from Palmer. What a GREAT place to grow up, BUT here's the irony of this video. He shows the Palmer Courtyard and refers to it as, "a little piece of Heaven". Now that area surrounding it is gang infested and has shootings all the time "it's become a little piece of hell", lol. . Little unknown fact about Davenport, Iowa...It is the only place where the Mississippi River runs East and West, and not North and South. This place was so chill and fun in the 80's and 90's. Nice video

I like this, it kinda feels weird to see streets I've walked on and places I'd been inside before ❤

My family is from Davenport the Golden’s, but I grew up in Bettendorf... love the video! Thank you for sharing the info amazing and made me think about my great grandparents and grandparents

Nice piece! Some other ideas- Arsenal bridge, amazing history, launching Lincoln as a national figure Village of East Davenport, our infamous red light district Col Bettendorf, some buildings around. I have some furniture from his original estate Of course the Arsenal itself. Still vital

Another interesting place to go visit is oakdale memorial gardens and you should also learn the history of oakdale memorial gardens

Weird that this showed in my recommendations and I'm from here.

I live in the Quad Cities. In the late 1800's, one of my ancestors married into the Davenports', the family that were named after the city, but shortly divorced. I always thought this was really interesting, and wondered if my life would be different if they stayed married. Just a thought.

Great 👍🏻 history

I never thought I would see something about my home town. Iowa city yeah sure. But not Davenport. It's weird knowing exactly where everything in this video is/was.

I spent lots of time in the Quad Cities when I attended Augustana College in Rock Island. Beautiful, unusual, interesting campus. In hindsight, our chapel, library and dorms had a very old world feel.

This was a great video, I would love to see more of your work! Thank you!

Thank you. I love that people are doing this.

8:48 mud flooded building at the right foot of 4th man in relief.

Wow! I never knew that much about Palmer, interesting dude! I'll have to go check it out soon...i drive by there daily, great job on making this, well done!

Nice Work! Watching from East Moline Illinois!

Great video. I grew up on the Illinois side, and never paid attention to any of these things. I am glad to learn it now.

GREAT videos! We are definitely fans of your work!! Jeff & Amy

I live here woah

That was very interesting!!! Thankyou for your efforts!!

It’s funny how I found your channel… Saw your comment on Oklahoma off grid and thought I recognized your handle so I followed to channel. Then I find these gems in the mix. Bonus find! 😅

I really enjoyed this so, I subscribed and shared. Good work!

My hometown! Lots of cool history here. There are a handful of buildings downtown dating to 1836. You would enjoy West End Tales. It’s the only page I look at on Facebook. m.facebook.com/WestDavenportHistory/posts/?ref=page_internal&mt_nav=0 (Both pictures at 3:35 do show the same building and ladder truck. It’s just a different angle and a much tighter shot.)

I enjoyed your work, Thank You very much, even learned some things.

Please continue I drive past these buildings everyday to work...

Great Iowa history!

My mom grew up in Oakville and my dad in Mt. Pleasant. I was born in Council Bluffs.

Really enjoyed that, thank You so much !

Thank you. So interesting.

I never paid much attention to the figures in the outside of the US Bank building, all the Greek gods that represent commerce, law, labor,agriculture, etc. Little Bit of Heaven was a wonderful lace to visit. The statues were beautiful. I don’t know if the gardens still exist, but it was a wonderful botanical garden. A local minister donated his rare parrots to the garden. BJ Palmer donated much of his Asian and Egyptian collection to the Putnam museum.

Love the video. I live in Davenport Kimberly North Pine. I am very much into my local history. Would love to meet you and go over some of the stuff you know maybe ill know some stuff you don't. Lol. Look forward to seeing more content from you.

Funny recently I was telling myself to learn more about early davenport, and without any history of searching for this, this video found my recommended. Strange world

Living in the area. Interesting to hear the history. More would be good. Maybe a tour sometime 😁

BRAVO!

I like coming to these comment sections about Davenport to see if there's anybody i know.

Well done brother 👍

Very nice work. I enjoyed watching this immensely. The red bricks, the socialism, the chiropractor, the bank. The repurposing. What I was amazed to learn was that the size of these asylums and orphanages that they had. They're as big as it the penitentiaries we have nowadays. Those orphanages look like concentration camps. The looks of the people s faces in the pictures of that era of the 1800s. They never really look happy. Almost dead states without any souls. Like zombies. Very interesting . Thank you for this .

30:04 I used to love when they took us troubled teens over to those older cottages! I’ve always been so fascinated with the old buildings and institutions of Iowa and (un?)fortunately I’ve been to a lot of them in terms of mental health places.

Excellent video! I would love to learn more about my home town. I was born here on September 15, 1977. I moved away early, But came back before I was a teen. I love this city, And would love to learn more about it

I live here!!!!

It's almost like the bank sculpture depicts the capitalist system? Philosophy, law, security, and many of the other symbols depict the principles of our society. With this theory, we would be the angels learning their philosophy and value of money. As descendants through education, we privilege the benefits of their system and contribute to it through upholding it and continuing to contribute to their pockets.

My father worked at Annie Whitmire probably around 1966. He didn't work there long. I remember him always complaining how much he disliked it.

Nostalgiagasm! I grew up there, but moved away over 30 years ago. Spent a lot of time in the Masonic Temple, and for a year or two, my mom had an office at the Whittenmeyer complex and I was in their theatre program. She told me that those strange tubes on the buildings were from the orphanage days and were emergency slides in case of a fire. Always thought that was bizarre. The stained glass window and tower on the chapel were gone by the early '80s. Shame that you didn't get inside of the Masonic Temple. You wouldn't know from the outside how beautiful the inside is... but it's creepy as hell. I was all over that building, sometimes alone, but I never felt like I was ACTUALLY alone. Doesn't surprise me at all that it's got a listing on hauntedhouses.

Mudflood Tatarian?

Most excellent presentation my man. Thoroughly enjoyed it. If you have passion for this subject matter (obviously apparent in this video) you should focus on it with the growing awareness of this topic. I appreciate your unique style and perception. God bless

Ch33rs.... Great vid Thank you

If you didn't know the majority of the Annie whitmeyer buildings and Foundation has gone towards helping juvenile delinquents and would love to see a video on all of that on where how it became an orphanage into what it is today

Will you do the history of des moines I've been looking for a video with extensive research on my hometown thanks fellow Iowan

It’s difficult for me to wrap my head around the fact that the Mississippi River flows from east to west through the quad cities rather than from north to south.

Loving this... History should never be erased by anyone.... you did an amazing job! Thank you, always love your videos. This one shows us a lot of History, more than anyone will find on the internet. It's people like you doing this, why I stay on youtube. I have all my families very old pics and my dads pics he took during WW2. He's gone now, but I am learning about my dad from his letters he wrote home to my mom, and the things he wrote on the war pictures too. wow! I never thought I'd know why daddy drank night after night, now I think I do. #War Jesus Bless you † ♥

I LIVED THERE 😊

Chiropractics having any morality or ethics at that time are hard to fathom especially in Davenport which had another site known as the Chiropractic Psychopathic Sanitarium. This facility was developed on land that was partly a shooting range, and despite the facility being primarily used for the care of WWI veterans suffering from shell shock the range remained in use. The Sanitarium, reporting well above average success because of the use of chiropractics as part of the treatment was in reality like many other sanitariums of the period... the stuff of nightmares, culminating in the eventual arrest of the president of the facility, not for abuse of his patients, or the escapes of traumatized patients leading to several deaths, or for the falsification of their success rate, or even for the fire on part of the property that was very likely in reality insurance fraud, but rather for a murder for hire plot against a business associate. This is not meant as a slight on this particular town or chiropractic care. Most medical fields were the stuff of charlatans and snake oil salesmen in those days across the board. It is however an opportunity to highlight an overlooked portion of history that truly deserves to be remembered.

Very good ////////////////

Please make a part 2!!! Davenport is an amazing city. I use to live there and am looking into moving back.

You’re so awesome 😎

Please do and maybe Branch and the other towns in the state of Iowa

Should cover the davenport comic book hero

nicely done....any reason you didn't include St. Ambrose Academy/College/University?

👍👍👏

First national bank was not founded in Davenport. It was founded in Greenville PA.

Jordan Maxwell claims that if an 'eagle' has a crest it is not an Eagle but is a Phoenix. (totally different symbols)

Palmer College also started WOC Radio and WOC Television.

Please do Bettendorf

I had a buddy in the Navy who said he lived in the suburb of Ottoman. We all called him Wiseguy. 🤣

Former President Ronald Reagan got his start in show business as an announcer at WOC Radio in Davenport in 1932.

I think that snake staff with pine cones is a Caduceus

I live here!

nice vid man, davenport iowa is my home town as well.

Hi l love our camera work but this last video is what I'm thinking seeing the world for what it is .please check out (john Levi channel)it has a black star as a symbol you will enjoy it thanks god bless

Do leclaire pretty sure it has tons of history

Dude sounds like he is spitting in the mic

another thing, i never knew what the building was behind 605 main... now i know...

Interesting from Ohio

What about what cheer

You should check out Michelle Gibson's information. she's bringing to account Rewritten history mud flood examples and World Fair exploits that lend in my opinion unto spiritual influences that are hard to explain less they be perceived as such! I like what you were looking into it's very interesting and raises to question many thoughts of this reality and the truth!

My family the steffen's are from there

B.j Palmer was born in what cherr

9:41 looks more like she is holding a cornucopia

It’s clear that we’ve been lied to about our history among innumerable other things, but I’m not convinced by mudflood/Tartaria theories. The stories of giant bones, weapons and tools being found in mounds in our area are undeniable, but I have yet to see anything regarding the mudflood hypothesis that’s even remotely convincing. There was a flood, just not when and how Tartaria advocates say it was.

isn't it intriguing that these architectural buildings with similar symbols and motifs were built not only throughout the u.s. ........ but throughout the world ! and these buildings/monuments are referred to as romanesque......lol roman empire never existed !

I found this video Fascinating, I truly enjoyed it! I would love to see more on it. Thank you.
