Gateway
Redevelopment Group (GRG), a 501 (c)(3) not-for-profit organization
was formed by a group of neighbors with the desire to save the abandoned
historic structures in Davenport’s
Hamburg Historic District.
Our first challenge was the Jipp home and grocery at the corner of 8th
and Gaines.
The Jipp serves not only as our
office, but a place to tell the story of
the Jipp's place in the Hamburg Historic District, the Neighborhood
Resource Center, and the home of our
Architectural
Rescue Shop. |

The shop is used to sell, collect, preserve, restore, and display architectural items from other vintage houses being renovated or demolished in the Quad Cities. The profits from the sale of these items are used to help in the restoration of this and other abandoned homes in our neighborhood.
