==History==
The ''Iowa Reform'' was a newspaper that started publication in Davenport in 1884 by Adolph Petersen. Members of the Petersen family were the publishers and editors of the paper from its inception until it ceased publication. They included Adolph and his brother Gerhard, and they were followed by Robert Petersen. Adolph Petersen lived in the apartment above the shop. The paper initially carried a strong Democratic point of view, but eventually went independent. It was a semi-weekly publication that served the German community of the Tri-City area, which is now known as the Quad Cities. The ''Reforms peak circulation was 4,000 in 1912. Unlike other German publications it survived the anti-German sentiments that resulted from World War I. By 1939 it was the only German language paper left in Iowa, and it had a circulation of 3,240. However, it could not survive those same sentiments that resulted from World War II and the paper folded in 1943.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Iowa Reform Building )〕
The building itself was built for the ''Iowa Reform'' in the heart of the German commercial district on the west side of downtown Davenport that was centered on Washington Square. The building has housed various commercial enterprises since the newspaper folded.
