The first property Davenport constructed in Savannah was what is today known as Laura's Cottage, which was originally built at 122 Houston Street, in Greene Ward, between 1799 and 1808 but was moved to 416 East State Street in Columbia Square in 1969. His most notable work, however, was what became his home – the Isaiah Davenport House, built in 1820 in the northwest corner of Columbia Square.
