The Henry Klindt House is a historic building located in the West End of Davenport, Iowa, United States. It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1984.[1]
Henry Klindt was born in 1839 in Fiefbergen, Holstein, in present-day Germany, to Thies and Wiepke (Mundt) Klindt. He came to the United States in 1856 and settled on a farm in Scott County, Iowa. He fought for the Union in the Civil War. After the war he opened a feed and grain store in Davenport before he took over the operations of the Eagle Brewery. He sold his interest in the brewery in 1891 to his son George,[2] and became president of the Malt and Grain Company. Klindt married Catherina Schnoor in 1863 and they had one son.[3]
