Narrative Statement of Significance: Special Significance; St. Raphael’s Cathedral, the oldest parish in Iowa Original Owner/Builder: Building History: credited to Bishop Smyth, 1858(A Walking Tour To Points of Interest In Historic South Dubuque). Permits include the following: (1) cutting a new opening in brickwork, $300, 1934; a masonry garage, 1953, $1,800; the refacing of the façade in 1959 for $5,000 and a major addition in 2000 for $205,000. Architect John Keegan designed and built a 16x10 chapel at the back of the cathedral in 1865 (Herald, February 22, 1865). Bishop Hennessey determined “to outfit [his] topless tower with a crown of brick and timber to correspond with the original plan (Nat. Demokrat, January 27, 1876). Architect W. W. Boyington from Chicago was in the city “to suggest ways to finish the Cathedral (ibid., May 11, 1876). Builder John McCoy received the steeple contract (66 feet, galvanized sheet iron cover) (ibid., August 17, 1876). Die Iowa reported that architects Heer and Nascher had been hired to draw up plans for the tower and façade completion. It offered “That’s a thankless task, the old building is not worth the new front” (Die Iowa, April 20, 1876). The same source reported that Boyington had been entrusted with the design, “a serious deception” (ibid., May 18, 1876). The work done, the same source admitted “the whole building by the changes has lost some of the banality which we have too often lamented” (ibid., November 11, 1976). The re-dedication took place mid-December 1880 (ibid., December 16, 1880). Architect Heer was hired in 1882 to enlarge the church, adding a new choir, and installing “stylistically correct vaulting,” $16-18,000 (ibid., March 16, 1882). By September the addition was ready for its roof (ibid., September 14, 1882). Architect Egan of Chicago designed $20,000 in interior remodelings, critics noted “could build a splendid new cathedral for the same money…it is just pathc work and will remain so,” (ibid., May 8, 1884).
