F.H. Miller House
The F. H. Miller House, located in the central part of Davenport, Iowa, United States, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The house served as the official residence for two of Davenport's Catholic bishops and as a bed and breakfast. The building houses the Office of Alumni and Parent Relations for Saint Ambrose University and is called Alumni House.
==History ==
The house was built by John Dahms in 1871. He lost his fortune and was forced to sell the house in a sheriff's sale in 1880 to Frank H. Miller, a wholesale grocer. In 1907 the house was purchased by the Catholic Diocese of Davenport for $26,500 and it became the residence and headquarters for the diocese’s bishop, James J. Davis. Previous bishops had resided at the Antoine LeClaire House in Davenport. Bishop Davis moved into the Miller House on June 24, and a desk was placed in the corner of the living room for the Rev. Joseph P. Stahl, who served as both chancellor and secretary to the bishop.〔 Davis established the first Carmelite Monastery in the Midwest adjacent to the home in 1911. He continued to live in the residence until his death in 1926. His successor, Henry P. Rohlman lived in the house until 1933 when he moved to the Selma Schricker House on Clay Street. The Miller House became the novitiate for the Sisters of St. Francis of Clinton, Iowa. After the sisters moved out in 1941 it was bought by Tom Hendricksen and the house was divided into six apartments to house workers at the Rock Island Arsenal.〔 It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.〔
The house was bought from Hendricksen by Herb Tyler in 1989 and was completely renovated and turned into a bed and breakfast called the Bishop’s House Inn, which was named after the two bishops who had made it their home. Saint Ambrose University bought the bed and breakfast in 1995 and operated it until May 2008. At that time the building was repurposed to hold private and public functions on the ground floor, and office space on the upper floors.
