1618 River Road Churchill House

This is a beautiful modern home nestled on banks of the Mississippi with a commanding view north and south of the Mississippi. As you can see from the pictures, it has an English Tudor study. Much of the structure for this room was imported from England. The family that built this house was significant to the growth of Burlington in early 1900. F. S. Churchill built Churchill Drugs as a wholesale distributor. In 1915 they had over 32 salesmen that covered the Midwest. In 1921 they had branches in Cedar Rapids and Peoria. In 1928 they merged with McKesson & Robins to form the McKesson-Churchill Drug Company. In 1940 they became McKesson and Robbins Drug Company.
