The McKinney House is located on the east side of Davenport, Iowa, United States. William McKinny built this house in 1872 in a neighborhood that was largely populated by Irish immigrants and their descendents.[2] The house remained in the family until after 1900. It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1983.[1] This house exemplifies a Vernacular form of the Greek Revival style that was popular in Davenport.[2] The sunburst design on the porch's pediment is the only decorative element on what is a simple structure. There is also an oculus on the gable end.
