RE: Dubuque County Historical Society Funding Request to Johanna Favrot
Fund
The Dubuque County Historical Society is requesting the attached letter of support from
the City of Dubuque as they apply for funding from the Johanna Favrot Fund of the
National Trust for Historic Preservation.
Since DCHS does not own the Ham House property, for which they are applying for
funding, they have also requested the attached resolution granting the City's
authorization to submit the grant application for the Historic Structure Report.
I respecffully recommend approval of the letter of support and resolution authorizing the
grant application.

RE: Letter of Support for Johanna Favrot Fund for Historic Preservation Grant Application for
Mathias Ham House
Dear Mr. Strand,
I am pleased to provide this letter of support on behalf of the City of Dubuque in support of the
Dubuque County Historical Society's application for a Johanna Favrot Fund for Historic
Preservation grant for an Historic Structure Report for the Mathias Ham House, which is listed in
the National Register of Historic Places and designated as a City Landmark Site.
In our long collaboration with the Dubuque County Historical Society, stewarding the historic
architecture as well as the historic site, we've recognized the power of working partnerships and
the fundamental significance of the historic site on our cultural heritage. The City's Historic
Preservation Commission has the responsibility to promote the protection, enhancement, and
perpetuation of such landmarks through outreach, education, and design review. An Historic
Structure Report of this historic landmark is crucial for the continued opportunity to promote and
conduct educational and interpretive programs on this key historic site.
The Dubuque County Historical Society's dedication to preserving and interpreting the site's
history offers enriching and engaging experiences to visitors and residents, furthering the social
and cultural vibrancy of our community. The City of Dubuque supports your initiative to seek
funding toward an Historic Structure Report of the Mathias Ham House. We look forward to the
collaborative process of enhancing and preserving this historic landmark.
Sincerely,
