John Wesley Ross was an architect in Davenport, Iowa.
"John Ross came to Davenport in 1874. In addition to the City Hall, he is noted for his design of the Fire King Station (Hose Station No. 1) on Perry Street, and the 1888 supervision of the Scott County Courthouse, following the death of the building’s original architect, John C. Cochrane."
He was born in Massachusetts in 1932 and lives in Davenport, Iowa (with his wife and family, including his son, Albert R. Ross who is also listed as an architect).
John Wesley Ross, originally of Westfield, Massachusetts, moved to Davenport in 1874 or 1876.
