Did you know the Col Ballroom in the West End of Davenport, is part of the National Register of Historic Places? 

Though renamed in 1914, Col Ballroom originates from the Saengerfest Halle. This building brought together German musicians across the Midwest. Today it is no longer a performance venue, but we can keep its legacy alive by talking about it.
