The house was built in the Italianate style for Moline grocer William B. Dawson around 1870. [2] [3] The property consisted of three lots, and included the house, a barn, outbuildings, a carriageway, fruit trees, grapery, and select plants. [4] Dawson, however, defaulted on the property and John Deere purchased the house and the three lots in 1875.
