Frederick E. Weyerhaeuser House, 3052 10th Avenue

This residence, also known as House on the Hill, was the home of Frederick E. Weyerhaeuser and his family, which included seven children.

Although Frederick and his wife moved with the lumber operations by the turn of the century, daughter Apollonia and her husband, Samuel S. Davis, continued to reside at the family home. They were leaders of industry, society and philanthropy in Rock Island for many years. The home stayed in the family for 85 years. It was donated to Augustana College in 1954.
