With support from an HRDP grant, Four Mounds will amend and update its National
Register of Historic Places Nomination to include a statewide significant designation, as
well as to include the 1953 Pine Block Cabin on the site nicknamed "Marvin Gardens".
This grant is consistent with the lease and the goals of the Department and City
Council.
As a part of the grant the city as the owner had to acknowledge and provide the
ownership certification form that is attached to the grant application. The City Manager
approved this certification form prior to grant submission.

Four Mounds Foundation was founded in 1987 as a nonprofit organization to manage and
steward Iowa's last remaining gentleman's farm to be used for education and public good. Our
team achieves that vision through the preservation of the natural, architectural, and historical
resources of the Four Mounds estate; education with hands-on opportunities for youth and

adults at -risk, and service through leadership, stewardship, and innovative partnerships.
2. Applicant Profile
Describe how the applicant fulfills its mission and serves its target population through the
programming or services it provides as well as the strategic priorities it has identified,
including reference to relevant notable achievements.
Four Mounds is an incomparable treasure in Iowa. The 100-acre site, which is home to the last
remaining intact gentleman's farm in the state, is located high on the bluffs above the
Mississippi River on the North End of Dubuque in the Driftless region. The site features
towering bluffland, rare oak savannah, forested ridges, and unparalleled panoramic views of
the Mississippi River. Four Mounds has two listings on the National Register of Historic Places,
we are an active Silos & Smokestacks National Heritage Area partner, and a Dubuque
Landmark Site.
Originally the private estate of the Burden family, Elizabeth Burden willed the Four Mounds
property to the City of Dubuque upon her death in the early 1980's. However due to economic
distress the City could not steward the property and was close to razing the estate.
Understanding that this would be a catastrophic cultural loss, community leaders and Burden
family members came together to form a nonprofit organization. While the City owns the
property, Four Mounds has 100% control of the site.
Our team has raised/invested millions to restore the estate's 17 structures, and the natural and
cultured landscape. We transformed Four Mounds from a private, residential site to one that
hosts 40,000 visitors a year. Our site is open to the public as a park year-round, we operate a
dynamic Inn & Conference Center; organic community gardens and house a phenomenal
Ropes Course.
Our flagship programming is HEART (Housing Education and Rehabilitation Training). We
intervene in the life trajectory of youth and adults at risk, giving them skills, choices, and
guidance through home and community restoration projects and other career pathways while
they discover their potential and map out their futures. This paid training is transforming lives
with a 92% graduation rate. Adults who enter our program on average have an annual income
of $16,000. Upon graduation and job placement, this average becomes $38,000.

HRDP Project Description
* indicates a required field
1. Specifically identify the historical resource and state its significance.
Prepare a detailed description of the historical resource. Identify the historical resource(s).
What is it? Explain why the resource has value to Iowa history and Iowans. Does it have
international, national, statewide, or local significance? Does it relate to international,
national, statewide, or local issues? What makes this resource unique?
The Four Mounds estate was largely built between 1908-1940, when the two main families who
owned the estate built their homes and supporting buildings. In 1908, Viola & George Burden
built what came to be known as the Grey House (a Lawrence Buck design). Chicago based A.
Phelps Wyman was hired as their landscape architect, and thoughtfully laid out our farm
campus buildings, winding lanes, vistas and stone features including retaining walls, walkways,
birdbaths, a sundial, stone gates and walls, rough cut curbing and an earthen root cellar.
Key highlights are as follows:
- Historic Grey House, 1908 Arts & Crafts styled mansion designed by Chicago architect
Lawrence Buck with cultured grounds planning completed by Chicago landscape architect A.
Phelps Wyman.
- Between 1908-1911, most of the estate's buildings were established including the barn,
chauffeur's house, gardener's house and root cellar.

- George and Viola Burden established the estate in 1908 to raise their children George (Bill)
and Viola, and Four Mounds exists as the last intact remaining gentleman's farm in Iowa.
- In 1925, Bill Burden married Elizabeth Adams and the White House, a traditional Colonial
Revival style was built so they could raise their family, including three daughters Frindy, Vidie,
and Betsy. Elizabeth lived in the White House until her death in 1982 and the property was
bequeathed to the City of Dubuque.
- Through the years, the Burden and Adams families maintained the estate with the help of
dedicated employees and live-in staff, who were part of the larger Four Mounds family. These
hardworking people included: two generations of Heitzmans who cared for the grounds
spanning six decades; Hannah Driscoll who managed the Grey House for almost 50 years;
Mildred "Mo" Hahlen who managed the White House for over 50 years; and Milton Kirch,
chauffeur to the Burdens for almost 30 years.
The final building added to the estate was a cabin built in 1956 for Frindy Burden Gronen,
daughter of George R. and Elizabeth. Four Mounds intends to include this cabin, nicknamed
"Marvin Gardens" in our National Registry designation through this project. It is a one-story
rectangular building with a low-pitched gabled roof with wide eave overhang. The roof is
covered with asphalt shingles, and the siding consists of horizontal beveled boards. A large
brick chimney occupies one end of the building. A deck at the rear provides a wonderful view of
the river valley below. The cabin is currently used as a guest house and community space. A
small gable -roofed privy is adjacent to the cabin. This privy has a low-pitched gabled roof with
exposed rafter ends, horizontal clapboard siding, and a fixed four -pane window.
While other gentleman's farms have been lost to demolition, acreage sell-off and suburban or
urban encroachment, we've actively worked to expand ours, acquiring natural buffers and using
conservation easements as protection tools.
The site has two listings on the National Register of Historic Places: the entire site as a historic
district, and a listing for the namesake Native American burial mounds, dating to the Middle -
Late Woodland period. Both designations are determined to have local significance, but the
rarity of the site in Iowa indicates that it has state significance worth revisiting, and this project
will enable Four Mounds to move forward to updating and amending the designation to
statewide significant.
We are an active Silos & Smokestacks National Heritage Area partner and a Dubuque
Landmark Site. A Phase I archeological survey of the cultured grounds revealed few tangible
artifacts, but indicated a history of heavy farming prior to 20th century development and a very
cleanly kept site by the Burdens.
Through private & public partnership, easements, acquisition, land stewardship and restoration,
11 of 24 5/1/2023, 8:11 PM
State Historical Society of Iowa - S1ideRoom - Submission
https://iowahistory. slideroom. com/#/Submission/confirmation/66233 82
we've created a quiet context for the gentleman's farm, providing a positive visitor experience
similar to that of the early 20th century. Because Four Mounds is remarkably intact, we are
preserving and restoring it as an integrated cultural and historic landscape that weaves
indigenous and designed landscapes with architecture for farming and country life. The Four
Mounds estate was established in the middle of the gentleman farm movement, when wealthy
men worked in cities and retreated at night to their country estates. Located four miles from
Dubuque's city center, the automobile made it possible to have the farm while maintaining a
professional career. The farm was idyllic, in an age where the industrialization and
modernization of agriculture and cities was an affront to the sensibilities of many. George R.
Burden saw his farm as a testing ground for "Scientific Agriculture," publishing in agricultural
journals. Eggs, dairy, flowers, herbs, vegetables, fruits and meats were produced for the people
who lived and worked on the estate, but never sold for profit. The farm campus includes the
barn/garage, chauffeur & gardener houses, lower garage, hog shed, chicken coop, ice house,
and root cellar.
Four Mounds is proud to serve as a living laboratory where students in our programs and the
community as a whole have access to all the buildings, trails, gardens and other resources.
Located in the Driftless region of the Midwest, the views alone make Four Mounds
spectacularly unique. Paired with programming and community impact -- this project will enable
this one of a kind site and the nonprofit organization to continue to thrive.
2. Provide an overview of the activities you will complete.
What will you do and how will it be done? Which professional standards will be followed to
complete this project? How will you apply the professional standards? How are these
activities relevant to your mission? Identify project partners and their responsibilities.
With a mission to preserve, educate, and serve, this project aligns with Four Mounds values
and strategic priorities. As a nonprofit that not only raises funds to support the growing
organization's operations, our team also raises funding and carries out the stewardship of over
100 acres and 17 structures -- which is not typical for a small organization. This particular
project including amending Four Mounds National Register Nomination to be statewide
significant, as well as including the Marvin Gardens Cabin in the designation, will enable the
organization to have access to additional funding resources and elevate our organization and
high -impact work.
The project will be completed in partnership with Dubuque -based nonprofit Heritage Works
which will be contracted to carry out the majority of the project, with staff support on research
and material collection provided by Four Mounds personnel.
Heritage Works preserves, protects and promotes historic architecture as one of the Dubuque,
Iowa region's unique assets in attracting people, investment and jobs. It's team serves as a
comprehensive resource for those engaged in preservation and redevelopment projects and

State Historical Society of Iowa - S1ideRoom - Submission
https://iowahistory. slideroom. com/#/Submission/confirmation/66233 82
collaborates on catalytic projects. Four Mounds and Heritage Works are committed to ensuring
that the documentation of existing conditions and historic research be done in a manner that is
consistent with National Register Bulletin 15: How to Apply the National Register Criteria for
Evaluation.
3. How will the proposed activities assist the historical resource?
Explain why this project is needed. Is the resource threatened? How will this project help
preserve, conserve, interpret, enhance or educate the public about this resource? Why is this
the right thing to do? How will you measure if this project is successful?
This project has been a goal of Four Mounds Foundation for many years, and in 2023,
organization leadership is prioritizing and investing in the National Register update in order to
lay the groundwork for future success.
Elevating the Four Mounds Estate Historic District to statewide significance on the National
Register of Historic Places would enable the organization to apply for additional regional
funding sources to complete Historic Structures Reports, continued preservation and
restoration, and more. Further, including the Marvin Gardens Cabin into the Historic District will
afford the structure the same protections and benefits of the other structures at Four Mounds
including grant funding and tax credits.
As funding for capital and construction projects continue to rise, now is the time to ensure that
Four Mounds Foundation is taking advantage of every opportunity to leverage dollars in order
to preserve the Four Mounds Estate to the highest quality standards.
Success will be measured by the completion of the update to the National Register Nomination
and Four Mounds will utilize the project to educate the community about this National Register
update through social media PR, press releases, and guided tours of the Estate.
4.
How will the project impact the local community? Describe the public value of the
proposed project to Iowans.
Explain why this project has public value. Does the project address a need in the community
or a goal for your organization? What will be the impact on the local community and to the
state of Iowa? How will you share the completed project or provide public access to the
resulting project activity? Will the resource and project be shared beyond the project site,
such as online? How will you sustain the project and public access in the future? Explain why
the proposed project merits investment from the State.
Four Mounds is a community -owned resource, open to the public and our organization exists
as a friends group to the site that is owned by the City of Dubuque. However, we receive no
line -item funding from the city. We are entirely responsible for all fundraising, management and
liability for the estate. This unique relationship means that the community resource is made
available at no cost to the taxpayers. As a superbly intact gentleman's farm, we actively buffer
13 of 24 5/1/2023, 8:11 PM
State Historical Society of Iowa - S1ideRoom - Submission
https:Hiowahistory. slideroom. com/#/Submission/confirmation/66233 82
the site from development (partnering with Iowa Natural Heritage Foundation) affording natural
views of the Mississippi River and experience of the site's serenity. Four Mounds is one of only
a few places in Dubuque where the public has an unimpeded panoramic view of the largely
undeveloped lands along the Mississippi River. We are open 365 days a year to the public
(grounds & trails). Many buildings (woodshop, barn, White House and Grey House and
outbuildings) are open during business hours.
At least 83% of over 40,000 individuals served by Four Mounds annually are Iowans. Visiting is
like walking back in Iowa's history, to a remarkably intact gentleman's farm built at the start of
the modern era. Another benefit to Iowans is that Four Mounds attracts visitors from across the
Midwest, the United States and throughout the world, helping to build up the economy as
people spend money at our site (and contribute to state/local hotel/motel taxes) and shop in
Dubuque.
Additionally, Four Mounds HEART program utilizes the site as a living laboratory and home
base for both teens and adults at risk. All work and funding invested into the site benefits this
program and its high -impact outcomes.
The HEART program has served the Dubuque community for more than 20 years through
hands-on job training and home renovation projects in low income neighborhoods — having
recently completed its 43rd property. Programming addresses local workforce needs and
provides accessible, paid training to adults with barriers to employment. In 2019 with the
support of one of five Google Impact grants in Iowa, the program expanded to serve adults.
More than half of students in this program are considered to be living in poverty, while 40%
have a criminal background. The Four Mounds HEART program experiences a 92% graduation
rate and average annual student income coming into the program is $13,000 and upon job
placement, average annual student income is $38,000. The program has served more than 100
adults. Classes, training and mentoring take place on site at Four Mounds and the program has
grown so rapidly, our team has doubled job coaching staff and is engaged in planning for a
classroom facility to be developed at Four Mounds to accommodate this critical program.
HRDP funding to support the National Register update would help to ensure continued success
and continued visibility of Four Mounds.
The Four Mounds team will share project success on our website, on social media, through
press release and newsletter, and through PR with guided tours on site.
