Historical Image Notes:
The 1872 Birdseye View of the City of Dubuque Iowa prepared by August Koch does not show a
building constructed at this time. The 1889 Perspective Map of the City of Dubuque, IA prepared by H.
Welige shows a two-story building in place.
The 1891 Sanborn Map notes the property as a two-story building that was used as a grocery and
saloon. This corresponds with information found in the city directories documenting a grocery/saloon at
this location.
