7. Narrative Description:
This property is located in the Cathedral Historic District. StyleNear, pre-1872/1855- (Assessor), very
unusual two-story brick parapet front vernacular/ ltalianate (paired brackets lost) duplex plan. Unusual
for the raised stone foundation (necessitating a bridge from the sidewalk).
Physical Description: T -plan (front core 34x44, centered rear wing 18x30, matching side porches 13x7),
stone lintels on basement windows subsumed below the top of the foundation, carved stone lintels with
semi-circular form integrated with spring stone and key stone, stone sills. Symmetrical fenestration.
Paired centered entries with bracketed and arched recessed openings (most unusual), entries have
four paneled doors, sidelights and transoms. Front porch 4x13.
Alterations: A 1979 photo shows broader eaves with paired brackets, a centered porch and a pointed
or stucco exterior. It appears that an entirely new roof with hip form replaced the gable roof original.
No porch, original was a gable roof hood or porch. Permits note alterations to multi family brick
dwelling 1946, rear steps 1951, repairs 1978.
Landscaping/Setting: ground drops away to the south and east, exposing foundation more in those
directions.
8. Narrative Statement of Significance:
Special Significance; in 1879 this building briefly housed what later became the Mercy Health Center.
Building History: Sisters of Charity built two residences for $6,000 on 3rd near Bluff, certainly a duplex?
Probable addresses (owned by the Bishop at that time were 440-442,462, and 464-66 Bluff) (Tribune,
December 21, 1871; Herald, December 17, 1871). Two nearly identical duplexes are 464-46 and 433-
35 West 3rd. Unfortunately 464-46 is otherwise attributed?
This building appears on the 1872 birds eye view. Bishop Hennessy owned this property when it was
sewered (no date).
The Sisters of Mercy arrived in Dubuque on January 13, 1879, and they opened a hospital in this
house, perhaps the first one in the city. The Sisters occupied a new hospital building on West Third
Street on top of the bluff within a year (Mercy Crest Centennial Edition, Winter 1979).
