Notes
  • Significance: The sixty-nine building documented here comprise a large portion of the commercial and industrial district located in the southeast section of the riverport city of Dubuque, Iowa. Built over an extended period in a thirty-block area straddling the railroads' main lines through the city, the buildings house a diversity of uses. These include commercial blocks, factories, warehouses, railroad passenger and freight depots, meat packing plants, automobile showrooms, powerhouses and hotels. Although the study area has evolved greatly from its beginnings in the 1830s, it has remained generally consistent in its use through the historical growth of Dubuque. Today, the area presents a heterogeneous, but cohesive, collection of late 19th and early 20th century structures that relate to Dubuque's commercial, industrial and transportation development. The area now faces serious impact from highway construction proposed by the Iowa Department of Transportation. As a result of this construction, many of the buildings will be razed and the composition of the district altered irreparably.
