The building is rectangular in shape and built of brick. The eastern end is two stories and held the offices. The west end held the warehouse storage space in a single story.[2] The freight house was built on the levee near the Mississippi River.
The railroad built the freight house because of the increase in traffic through Davenport in the years leading up to World War I. The freight house was placed on the National Register of Historic Places due to its association with the commercial development of Davenport, Iowa.
The freight house was mostly recently used as a comedy club, sports bar, piano bar, and restaurant. As of Summer 2010 the freight house is vacant and under ownership by the City of Davenport. Future usage of the freight house is being explored.[3]
