As a participant of the Certified Local Government Program, the City of Dubuque is required to review and comment on the proposed National Register modifications of districts within its jurisdiction. The State has provided the enclosed copy of the nomination, photographs, and review form for this nomination. The Historic Preservation Commission reviewed the enclosed nomination at the May 27, 2026 meeting. The State has requested the Commission comment on whether the Chadwick Block at 249 W 1 St Street meets significance criteria (A, B, C or D) for listing in the National Register of Historic Places. The Commission and City Council shall make comment to the state within 60 days of their notice, and must conduct a public meeting where the public is notified of the opportunity to provide comment, along with the owner of the relevant property involved and their representative, the consultant. The nomination indicates that the structure is locally significant under Criterion A, for Commerce, and Criterion C for Architecture. The Commission noted the owner's work to utilize Historic Tax Credits and City of Dubuque funding to remove the inappropriate facades and restore the building is commendable and the structure helps serve as a gateway to Dubuque as well as add to the fabric of the Old Main Street National Register Historic District. This project restores housing and quality commercial space to the district. Recommendation At the May 27 meeting of the Historic Preservation Commission, the Commission agreed with the findings in the nomination, that the structure is locally significant under Criterion A, for Commerce, and Criterion C for Architecture. Its time period of significance is within the relevant period of significance for the district. A motion to Page 567 of 1000 Page 2 recommend to City Council approval of the inclusion of the property within the district was approved with a vote of 5-0 in favor of inclusion. A Certified Local Government National Register Nomination form is included with this email that is signed by me, as Chairperson of the Historic Preservation Commission and having presided over the May 27, 2026 Commission.

To view or download the nomination and photographs, click on the link listed above. Copies of the nomination are available for review at the State Historic Preservation Office ("SHPO"), located at 1963 Bell Avenue, Suite 200, Des Moines, lowa 50315. As a participant in the Certified Local Government Program, the Historic Preservation Commission ("Commission") is required to review and comment on nominations for listing properties within its jurisdiction in the National Register. The SHPO is required to allow a 60-day period for the review unless the Commission and SHPO mutually agree to expedite the process. I am contacting you to ask that you initiate Commission's 60-day review process. A copy of the review form is included with this letter. Instructions for completing the review process are as follows: o The Historic Preservation Commission should review the nomination during one of its meetings. In advance of the meeting, send a formal invitation to your Chief Local Elected Official (the mayor or chair of the Board of Supervisors)with a copy of the nomination. The Chief Local Elected Official is also required to review the nomination. o You also must send a formal invitation to the property owner/owners. If they are not familiar with the National Register of Historic Places, information about listing benefits is available at https://www.n ps.qov/su blects/nationalreq ister/i ndex.htm. o The Commission is also required to make available copies of the nomination for public review before the meeting. For example, provide the local courthouse and public library with a copy of the nomination. Please indicate in your public meeting announcement that one or more review copies of the nomination is available and where the review copies can be found. o The question for the Historic Preservation Commission to answer when reviewing the nomination is whether the nominated property meets the National Register of Historic Places criteria for significance and integrity. See Bulletin15: How to Apply the National Register Criteria for Evaluation at the following link: How to Apply the National Register Criteria for Evaluation. If the Commission determines that the property and the nomination meet the criteria, the Commission should check the box recommending that the property be listed. If the Commission determines that the property does not meet the criteria, check the box recommending that the property not be listed. Your Chief Local Elected official should use the same approach when reviewing the nomination. o Consider inviting the individual who prepared the nomination to attend the public meeting and present the nomination. o Keep a record of comments made by Commission members during the meeting. After discussing the merits of the nomination, a member of the Commission should make a motion to recommend listing the property on the •����������������������������• _ , Page 569 of 1000 National Register or to recommend not listing the property on the National Register. The motion must be seconded. The members of the Commission should vote yes or no and the chair of the Commission should announce the results of the vote. o The chair of the Commission should complete Item#1, the Commission's portion of the review form. Be sure to fill in the date of the public meeting, sign the form on the signature line and if your chief local elected official attended the public meeting, inquire if he/she is prepared to sign the review form. o Please keep a record of the meeting, including the public notice, agenda, minutes, and list of persons in attendance. o In the event that your Chief Local Elected Official was unable to attend the meeting, forward the review form to him/her for review and comment. Ask your Chief Local Elected Official to sign the review form and return it to the Historic Preservation Commission. o Item #3 on the Review form references review and signature of a preservation professional. If your Commission does not have a qualified historian or architectural historian who can complete this part of the form, you may leave Item #3 blank and I will arrange to have a SHPO staff member complete that part of the form. o After you have completed Items#1 through #2 (through#3 if the Commission has a preservation professional), please make a copy of the completed review forms for your file and send the original copies of the completed forms to me. o The Commission should keep the nomination and photographs. File them in your inventory, as you will need the information for future reference. If your Chief Local Elected Official disagrees with the Historic Preservation Commission's determination as to the property's eligibility for listing in the National Register, both viewpoints will be presented to the SNRC for their consideration during review of the nomination. If both the majority of the Commission and the Chief Local Elected Official recommend not listing the property in National Register, the SNRC is required to halt the nomination. Be advised that when SNRC halts a nomination, the property owner, the person who prepared the nomination or any interested party may appeal the decision. In addition, the SNRC is required to forward the nomination to the National Park Service for an official "Determination of Eligibility." Any person or organization which supports or opposes the nomination of a property by a State Historic Preservation Officer may petition the Keeper during the nomination process either to accept or reject a nomination. The petitioner must state the grounds of the petition and request in writing that the Keeper substantively review the nomination. Such petitions received by the Keeper prior to the listing of a property in the National Register or a determination of its eligibility where the private owners object to listing will be considered by the Keeper and the nomination will be substantively reviewed.

Indicate whether the property has historic integrity.) The Old Main Historic District was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1983, at which time its boundary was confined to Main Street. The boundary was increased in 2015 to include buildings on the streets intersecting Main that had been constructed during the Period of Significance and contributed to the district's commercial development. The present boundary increase adds one building to the Old Main Street Historic District,the Chadwick Block at 249 W lsT Street. The Chadwick Block is a 2-story brick 19`"-century commercial block, located on the northeast corner of W lst and Locust Streets, at the southern border of Dubuque's historic downtown. The building is rectangular with a flat roof. Its front fa�ade,with four commercial starefront bays, faces south onto W 1 st Street. The building is of masonry construction,with a limestone foundation and brick walls, and its storefronts consist of large plate glass windows divided by cast-iron columns and a masonry pier in the center. The building is 19t''-century commercial style,with Italianate influence displayed in the tall,narrow proportions of its front second-story windows and the shape of their carved limestone hoods, and in the height and elaborate design of the building's brick cornice. A carved limestone nameplate slightly west of center on the building's front fa�ade reads"Chadwick Block." The Chadwick Block was not included in the 2015 increase of the Old Main Street Historic District, due to its street- facing fa�ades to the south and west being covered by a post-Period of Significance slipcover. These coverings have since been removed, and the original storefronts and masonry have been restored using State and Federal Historic Preservation Tax Credit programs. The rehabilitation included the recreation of limestone sills that had been chipped flat when the coverings were installed; the in-kind replacement of some second-story wood windows; and restored cast-iron columns and new storefront windows on the ground floor, closely replicating the layout and design of the historic storefronts. Rehabilitated to very near its original appearance,the Chadwick Block retains its historic integrity of location, design, setting,materials, feeling, and association and is now counted as a contributing building in the Old Main Street Historic District.

It consists of the southern portion of Main Street between the Locust Street Connectar to the south and W 4tn Street to the north, along with portions of the cross streets, W lsr Street and W 2°d Street that run approximately one block west of Main Street. As described in the 2015 boundary increase and additional documentation, the Old Main Street Historic District was the location of the city's earliest commercial district, and between the mid-1860s and early 1900s, it was built up considerably into 2- to 5-story masonry commercial blocks and mixed-use buildings, and one 8-story hoteL These buildings housed mainly industrial and jobbing businesses, as well as some taverns and inns, and the building styles were generally vernacular, with Italianate ornamentation predominating in the 19th-century constructions, and some higher-style Beaux Arts, Renaissance Revival, and Romanesque Revival buildings constructed in the late 19t" and early 20th centuries. This boundary increase adds a single building (the Chadwick Block, 249 W lst Street) that was constructed in 1890 as part of the commercial development of the Main Street area. The building is contiguous to the previous boundary of the district, sharing a party wall with the Montana House (245 W 1 st Street) (Fig. 2). The Chadwick Block was not included in the 2015 boundary increase of the district due to a post-Period of Significance aluminum slipcover over its south farade, and post-Period of Significance aluminum and PermaStone coverings on its west facade, which obscured its historic exterior appearance. In 2021, a new owner conducted exploratory demolition that removed the non-historic coverings and determined that the original historic masonry and storefront cast-iron columns were largely intact. The National Park Service, Technical Preservation Services,preliminarily determined that the building contributes to the Old Main Street Historic District in a Federal Historic Preservation Tax Incentives Part 1 Application. The rehabilitation of the property as part of a State and Federal Historic Tax Credit proj ect has revealed and restored the historic masonry and cast-iron posts, and reintroduced the historic starefronts (with minor alterations to comply with ADA requirements), so that now, the building's appearance reflects its contributing status to the historical character of the Old Main Street district.

The Chadwick Block is the contributing building at the southwest corner of the district, encompassed by the 2026 boundary increase (green line). Section 7 page 8 Page 578 of 1000 United States Department of the Interior National Park Service/National Register of Historic Places Registration Form NPS Form 10-900 OMB No. 1024-0018 Old Main Street Historic District (Boundary Dubuque , lowa Increase)_ Name of Property County and State 249 W lst Street(Chadwick Block) The Chadwick Block is located on the northeast corner of the intersection of lst St. and Locust St. It is a two- story commercial block building made up of two sections that share a unified design. It is a medium-sized building, with a rectangular footprint measuring eighty feet wide and fifty feet deep. The building is of masonry construction with a limestone foundation and brick exterior walls laid in a stretcher bond. The street-facing facades to the south and west have a decorative, dentiled brick cornice. Its first-floor primary (south) fa�ade is comprised of four structural bays defined by masonry piers. The storefront bays are divided by historic cast iron post, and the windows are comprised of wood-framed plate glass surmounted by transom windows. Aside from the westernmost bay, each bay contains a recessed entrance. Between the third and fourth bay to the east is a single-entry door that leads to the upper floor. A limestone header divides the storefronts from the second story, and the second story contains eleven 1/1 windows. The second-story window openings exhibit some Italianate influence in their vertical emphasis, arched limestone hoods, and limestone sills. A limestone plaque inscribed with"CHADWICK BLOCK"is located just above the windows, not quite centered on the building. On the west secondary fa�ade, the storefront wraps around on the south. There is a single-entry door, surmounted by a transom and header bricks that form an arch. The second floor is divided into three primary bays: the outer bays each contain one window, while the center bay holds three windows. Windows on the west elevation have limestone sills and arched brick hoods. Remnants of historic painted signage is visible on the west farade. The rear of the building (north) is defined by an integral corridor deck that spans the length of the elevation. On the second level, there is an entrance in each of the four bays that serve as primary entrances to second-floor apartments. While windows are largely infilled on the first floor, the second floor contains some historic divided lite, 1/1 windows that flank each of the four doorways. The building has a flat roof with a rubber membrane, and parapet walls above the roofline on its south and west sides. Alterations The Chadwick Block has recently been restored after a period of vacancy and neglect. The restoration included the removal of non-historic 20th-century coverings of aluminum siding on the building's south farade, and aluminum and PermaStone on its west fa�ade. The underlying original storefronts and masonry walls were revealed, and features that had been damaged(limestone window sills and projecting brick headers that had been chipped away when the coverings were applied) were recreated in kind. The cast-iron structural columns on the storefronts were retained and repainted, and the storefronts themselves were replaced with new plate glass windows with wood sash and paneled wood base, replicating the historic design as closely as possible, with some adjustments made to accommodate ADA doorways. The second-story windows were repaired and, where necessary, replaced to match the originals. Masonry was gently cleaned and repaired, with ghost signage on the west fa�ade retained. Rehabilitated, the Chadwick Block blends seamlessly with the character of its adjacent neighbor to the east, Montana House, which was added to the Old Main Street Historic District in the 2015 boundary increase. Together, the two buildings on W lst Street form part of the visual gateway into Dubuque's historic downtown at lst and Locust Street, the primary entry point for those arriving to the Old Main Street Historic District from the south or from Illinois. Section 7 page 9 Page 579 of 1000 United States Department of the Interior National Park Service/National Register of Historic Places Registration Form NPS Form 10-900 OMB No. 1024-0018 Old Main Street Historic District (Boundary Dubuque , lowa Increase)_ Name of Property County and State Statement of Integrity The Chadwick Block retains all seven aspects of its historic integrity. Location: The building has not been moved from its original location and therefore retains its integrity of location adjacent to historic Main Street. Design: The resource contributes to the historic district's integrity of design. The building retains its original massing and much of its historic 19tn_20tn century commercial design. The post-Period of Significance coverings that once obscured its original architectural features on the south and west facades have been removed to reveal restrained Italianate design influence, and any original features that had been damaged or altered beyond repair(limestone window sills, some broken bricks, some wood-framed windows, the original starefronts) were replicated in kind with replacement materials. Alterations in the storefront designs, including expanded 36" doorways, were made to accommodate ADA requirements, however, this does not significantly impact the historic design of the property. Setting: The building abuts the Montana House and is near other 19th-century commercial buildings within the historic district. Although mid-late 20t�-century intrusions, including parking lots and post-POS buildings sit directly across from the Chadwick Block, the area is still defined by historic commercial properties, and therefore, the integrity of setting is retained. Materials: The Chadwick Block's masonry construction and cast-iron structural posts are still intact, although some original materials were damaged by the mid-20th-century installation of aluminum and PermaStone coverings on the building's fa�ade. Where original materials were damaged beyond repair, they were replaced with in-kind materials, which includes new limestone window sills to replace the ones that had been chipped flush, and new wood-framed storefronts, and some windows to match the originals. Notable original architectural features such as the carved limestone window hoods, "Chadwick Block" limestone nameplate, and ornamental brick cornice have all been retained, and as such, the resource retains integrity of materials and contributes to the historic district. Workmanship: Integrity of workmanship is intact, with a few masonry elements (broken bricks, damaged limestone sills) and wood windows that have been replaced. However, the original warkmanship is visible throughout the majority of the building's brick walls, limestone detailing, and some retained original windows; its elaborate brick cornice and carved limestone window hoods and nameplate are all historic. Feeling: The Chadwick Block serves as part of the southern gateway into Dubuque's Old Main Street Historic District. As the first building visitors encounter at the entrance to the downtown, the Chadwick Block's integrous architecture retains the feeling, continued throughout the Old Main Street Historic District, of being immersed in a 19th-century downtown in a burgeoning Midwestern city. Association: Housing a commercial space on its ground floor and rental apartments above, the building retains its historical identity as a mixed commercial-residential space at the gateway to Dubuque's historic Old Main Street Historic District.

Two-to-three story buildings predominate, the majority built in the mid-to-late 19t" century and featuring Italianate ornamentation. The district also provides a physical connection to Dubuque's early development as a hub of industry and commerce in the second half of the 19th century. This boundary increase incorporates into the district a building that was part of the lower Main Street's 19t"-century development, and contributes to the district's architectural and commercial significance.

Commercial Si�nificance (Criterion A) Main Street's Development as Dubuque's Commercial Center: The southern end of Main Street developed as the first commercial corridor in Dubuque. The area began to build up quickly after the U.S. government officially opened Dubuque for settlement in 1833, due to its proximity to the wharfs where ferries would land, transporting goods and people in and out of the town.l The earliest buildings seen in the original downtown (Main Street between 1 st and 3ra), as throughout Dubuque in the 1830s and 1840s, consisted of small frame buildings and log cabins. � The arrival of rail transportation in the mid-1850s, with a depot located near Main Street, spurred further growth in the commercial center.3 As the town's economy grew and transitioned from lead mining to wholesaling, the simple frame frontier buildings along Main Street were replaced with more substantial brick buildings, some of which reached three stories in height. The downtown's area also began to expand: Main Street continued to develop northwards, and its intersecting streets began to fill outward with commercial buildings. The first half of the 1870s in particular saw a boom in construction, with fifteen of the contributing buildings in the district dating to that period.4 The 1873 city directory shows a variety of businesses in the area at that time. Saloons and grocery stores predominate, with about a dozen each; there were also six boarding houses and two hotels, including the Julien House; and a number of dry goods stores and wholesalers, farm implement stores, and some manufacturers, including A.A. Cooper's wagon manufacturing company. There was also a shooting gallery, a bowling alley, two barbershops, and the German Savings Bank.s 1Vanda, Charles C. Old Main Historic District.

These final structures were built for a few reasons: to replace the last remaining frame buildings in the district with modern masonry commercial blocks, as in the Bishop's Block (1887); to rebuild after fires, as in the Julien Hotel (1914); or to create a grander building to suit an expanding business, as in the German Bank(1901) (Fig. 3). a*���^, � sr. i --�-N��'-. ;�'; ;� ry J �'-,'-•���'.<�; o� :�.._� • ....- r, � .�•7r;;�i1�d_ -_ - ;-� Ys ...,_. �i �� r -'- i �_,�..., ,�, �,;� � � , . , rY�•-T�' � `�' ._� .: ,�-� �-+L;. � r : ' 1 A ' ���`� ' ,T� �� , � � =3� #,�.._�� �'— � ,,,•; + �� � �� ;�-�, .�-;xz� _� �r�: � �_� ��:, �`:�" �.__. - ' •�.; «. __ . .�. .��.. . � �. 8.0 . sT � . ..,. ;, _..`�'�:`.�:_ _ .., 9�0 — � � '` � '�_ �--�� rY '. __ +� ♦ .e�w — yr. �. �� �,• , � , � , , . . d�r; � ,�'�t y..y�_ .4 � y �' � � y�; ...: . � wrJ � .y�'�—'J:'f� � ^q•a� � � - ... ,�7"i��.:—t� ... ��'� V� '_ r ,.

In terms of commercial vitality, the downtown has experienced periods of flourishing and decline over the course of its history; it was ultimately deposed as Dubuque's commercial center by the opening of the Kennedy Mall on the west end in 1970. However, restoration and revitalization efforts begun in the 1980s have brought the lower Main Street back to being a thriving commercial district today, with locally- owned retail stores,bars and restaurants filling its historic buildings and attracting tourists and locals alike.6 Chadwick Block: The Chadwick Block fits into the commercial context of the Old Main Street Historic District as an example of a mixed-use commercial block constructed during the building-up of the south Main Street area in the second half of the 19th century. It demonstrates the continuation of the district's development during the period of significance. It is also contiguous and shares a party wall with the Montana House, another commercial property which also contributes to the significance of the district. Hemon Chadwick was one of Dubuque's pioneers, who owned large portions of land in the southern part of the city. By the late 1870s, the Chadwick family's property included the new 3-story brick Montana House at 245 W 1 st Street, which still exists and was added to the Old Main Street Histaric District in 2015, and three older buildings directly west of Montana House, to the corner of W lst and Locust (Figs. 4 and 5).� Hemon's wife Christina inherited these properties upon Hemon's death in 1877, and retained ownership of them until her death in 1917.g ! #i f--� ,',�_, +�" , .� �. ���'��-�:��"'�.l"_!iM I �T_ - � � .�+.d�.

In 1890, the Chadwick family tore down the three older buildings, which had been described as "old rookeries" in a local paper,9 and built a new two-story masonry commercial block, with four storefront bays facing south and residential space on the second floor. The first-floor spaces were originally occupied by saloons, including one run by one of Hemon's sons, "Sonny" Chadwick (probably his second son, Almon) (Fig. 6).10 Sonny and his wife lived in one of the upstairs residences of the building for a few years after it was built;ii Hemon's widow Christina, who in some directories and the 1910 federal census is listed as living in the Montana House, also seems to have occasionally lived in the Chadwick Block.i� 9"Local News in Brief,"Dubuque Herald,August 20, 1890,4.

Its corner store, comprising two storefront bays, ("103-105 lst Street"pre-1921; "263-265 W lst Street"post-1921), housed a succession of saloons until statewide Prohibition went into effect in 1916.13 Then, a series of grocery and confectionery stores occupied the space (with a tavern reopening in half of the existing grocery store soon after Prohibition was repealed in 1934).14 A farm supply store took over the space in 1950, and was succeeded by a hardware store, Schilling Hardware, which remained there from 1963 through the 1990s.is 13��Local News in Brief,"Dubuque Herald, October 14, 1890,4; "Municipal Molecules,"Dubuque Herald, February 7, 1891, 4; "Liquor Men Ready to Close Up Shop,"Dubuque Telegraph-Herald, December 25, 1915, 10; Dubuque Directory 1916. 14"Local Mention,"Dubuque Times-Journal, July 7, 1916, 17; "Local Mention," Dubuque Times-Journal, July 1, 1923, 23; "City Council Proceedings,"Dubuque Telegraph-Herald and Times-Journal, May 5, 1935, 9.

These hosted some of the succession of saloons in the first years after the building's construction (Fig. 6). The easternmost storefront("133-135 lst Street"pre-1921; "253 W lst Street"post-1921) also had a number of barbershops in the 1890s.16 In the first half of the twentieth century, that space was occupied by a few short-lived retailers and repair stores, until the Wagon Wheel tavern moved in from 1949 to around 1959.'� In 1965 Herbert Gourley returned the space to use as a barbershop, which he ran until the mid-to-late 1990s.18 The storefront next to the corner store ("123-125 lst Street"pre-1921; "257 W lst Street"post-1921) housed grocery stores for much of the early 20th century,19 and after a period of vacancy during the Great Depression and World War II, was absorbed into the building's corner store (Thompson's grocery at the time) around 1945. It likely remained in use as part of the corner store businesses from that point on. The second story of the building was divided into four rental apartments. These were often occupied by the owners of the ground-level businesses and their families, and otherwise housed a variety of renters: widows, single men, young families, and downtown workers. Throughout much of the twentieth century, the rooms were fully occupied, but in the 1970s and 1980s, when Dubuque's Main Street was in decline as a commercial center, city directories often showed vacancies in the upstairs apartments.20 By the late 1990s, Schilling Hardware and Gourley's Barber Shop had closed, and the entire building was left vacant until a new owner purchased the Chadwick Block building in 2021, and began rehabilitation work.�' Now,restored to its historical appearance, and occupied by a commercial business on its ground floor and rental apartments above, the Chadwick Block is an excellent representative of the commercial development of the lower Main Street area in the 1890s, and therefore, contributes to the commercial significance of the district. Architectural Signi�cance (Criterion C) Old Main Street Architectural Development: The Old Main Street Historic District is characterized by its abundance of commercial buildings from the second half of the 19th century and early 20th century. Most of the district's contributing buildings are two- or three-story brick commercial blocks with cast-iron storefronts. The majority of these are in an Italianate style, typically characterized by elongated upper-story windows with decorative arched window hoods, and prominent pressed-tin or brick cornices. The rest of the commercial blocks tend to be in a plainer, 19th-century commercial style, with shorter, rectangular upper-story windows with flat limestone or brick lintels, and simpler brick cornices. There are also a handful of taller buildings in the district, and a few displaying higher styles, including Romanesque Revival, Italian Renaissance Revival, and Beaux Arts.

Most of the area around Main Street had been built up during the 1860s and 1870s, when the Italianate style was at the height of its popularity.23 The Chadwick Block, built in 1890, was at the tail end of the Italianate style's popularity, but still shows some Italianate features in its 19th-century commercial style. This can be seen by comparing its features with other buildings in the district. The arched limestone hoods over the Chadwick Block's second- story windows are its most identifiable Italianate feature: while flush to the wall instead of protruding, they are similarly shaped to those on Italianate buildings such as 129 Main Street(c. 1871-72), and 163 Main Street (pre-1872). The windows themselves are also close in proportion to those of the adjacent Italianate Montana House (1871), taller and narrower than those of the simpler 19rh-century commercial style building nearby at 210-214 W lst street (1865-1870). And finally, the Chadwick Block's detailed brick cornice, while not as prominent as Montana House's tin cornice or the brick cornice on the Italianate O'Neill Block (101-123 Main Street, 1873), is taller and more elaborate than the simple dentiled design of the cornice on 210-214 W lst, and other non-Italianate commercial style buildings in the district. The Chadwick Block's architecture demonstrates the continuing development of the Main Street commercial district in the late 19t" century, after the construction boom of the 1860s and 1870s. As a two-story commercial block with multiple storefronts, and apartments above, it fits with the predominating building type of the district. The building's 19th-century commercial style with Italianate-influenced features reflects its date, at the very end of the Italianate style's popularity, and ties it in visually with the surrounding buildings on the south end of the district. The Chadwick Block likely would have been added to the district in 2015,but until recently, its historic storefronts have been covered over with a metal slipcover, and its west fa�ade coated in PermaStone. These alterations have since been reversed, and the facades have been restored as nearly as possible to their original materials and appearance. It once again reflects the architectural character of the Old Main Street Historic District, and therefore contributes to the district's local significance in architecture. Archaeolo�ical Assessment As the building has remained intact since its 1890 construction, no excavation has been conducted, and no archaeological remains have been found or assessed on the site.

The boundary established in 2015 is amended beginning at a point on the centerline of W 1 st St. that is in line with the party wall between 245 W lst St. (Dubuque County Parcel 1025281021) and 249 W lst St. (Dubuque County Parcel 1025281020). From that point, the boundary proceeds southwest along the centerline of W 1 st St. to a point in line with the west wall of 249 W 1 st St. Continuing northwest from that point, it follows the west wall of 249 W 1 st Street to the building's northwest corner, and then turns northeast following the building's rear wall and continuing to rejoin the 2015 boundary at the party wall between 245 and 249 W 1 st St. BOUIIC�aI"�/ .�UStIflCatlO�'1 �Explain why the boundaries were selected.� The boundary increase adds to the district a single building that was built during the district's period of significance, is a fine example of the district's architectural and commercial significance, and is contiguous to the previous boundary of the district, sharing a party wall with a building already included in the district that was built by the same family in the late 1800s. 11.
