Van Milligen, City Manager SUBJECT: Upper Iowa Street Historic District — NRHP Nomination DATE: June 4, 2015 The Upper Iowa Street Historic District is being considered for listing on the National Register of Historic Places. Planning Services Manager Laura Carstens and the Historic Preservation Commission recommend City Council approval of the Upper Iowa Street Historic District Nomination and approval for the Mayor to execute the Certified Local Government National Register Nomination Evaluation Report Form. The National Register is the official Federal list of districts, sites, buildings, structures, and objects significant in American history, architecture, archeology, engineering, and culture. National Register properties have significance to the history of their community state, or the nation. Listing on the National Register of Historic Places provides potential eligibility for State and Federal tax benefits as well as Federal Grants. Listing on the National Register does not have any regulatory implications. Owners of private property listed on the National Register are free to maintain, alter, manage, or dispose of their property as they choose provided that no Federal financial incentives are involved. The 1.5 acre Upper Iowa Street Historic District is part of the 1100 block of Iowa Street. It is National Register of Historic Places eligible based on the architecture of its nine buildings built in the 1880's and 1890's. The current buildings are complex and fairly innovative designs and the clustering, while small in scale, makes them standout in Dubuque's commercial architecture. In addition to the exceptional commercial designs, the block contains one of the best-preserved two-story brick side gable residences in the city which represents a fragment of the original residential neighborhood. A May 29, 2015 letter is enclosed from the law firm of Kintziner, Harmon and Konrardy objecting to the nomination and asks that their building at 100 West 12th Street be excluded. City staff is not recommending that exclusion. I concur with the recommendation and respectfully request Mayor and City Council approval. Mic ael C.

Van Milligen, City Manager FROM: Laura Carstens, Planning Services Manager SUBJECT: Upper Iowa Street Historic District— NRHP Nomination DATE: June 4, 2015 Introduction The Upper Iowa Street Historic District is being considered for listing on the National Register of Historic Places (NRNP). This memorandum forwards the enclosed Certified Local Government National Register Nomination Evaluation Report Form and Upper Iowa Street Historic District nomination for City Council's consideration. Background The National Register is the official Federal list of districts, sites, buildings, structures, and objects significant in American history, architecture, archeology, engineering, and culture. National Register properties have significance to the history of their community state, or the nation. Listing on the NRHP provides potential eligibility for State and Federal tax benefits as well as Federal Grants. Listing on the National Register does not have any regulatory implications. Owners of private property listed on the National Register are free to maintain, alter, manage, or dispose of their property as they choose provided that no Federal financial incentives are involved. Discussion The 1.5 acre Upper Iowa Street Historic District is part of the 1100 block of Iowa Street. It is NRHP eligible based on the architecture of its nine buildings built in the 1880's and 1890's. The current buildings are complex and fairly innovative designs and the clustering, while small in scale, makes them standout in Dubuque's commercial architecture. In addition to the exceptional commercial designs, the block contains one of the best-preserved two-story brick side gable residences in the city which represents a fragment of the original residential neighborhood.

The HPC reviewed the nomination at their May 21St public meeting. All property owners in the proposed district were provided notification of the proposed district and public meeting. Public comments in favor and opposed were solicited, but none were made. Owners of private properties nominated to the NRHP have an opportunity to concur or object to the listing. Any owner or partial owner who chooses to object to the listing is required to submit to the State Historic Preservation Officer a notarized statement certifying the party is the sole or partial owner of the property and objects to the listing. Each owner or partial owner of the property has one vote. If a majority of property owners in the district object, a property will not be listed. The State Historic Preservation Officer received the enclosed letter of objection from the property owners at 100 W. 1211 Street. The State Historic Preservation Officer forwarded the letter to Planning Services Staff for their information on June 4th. There are 6 property owners in the proposed district. The written objection represents 16% of the property owners and is the only objection received to date. The Planning Services Department is currently working with the property owners to address their concerns. Recommendation By a vote of 5 to 0, the Commission recommended the Upper Iowa Street Historic District be listed on the NRHP based on eligibility criterion C. Criterion C is property that embodies the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, or method of construction or represents the work of a master, or possesses high artistic values, or represents a significant and distinguishable entity whose components lack individual distinction. Requested Action City Council's role in reviewing the nomination is to comment on whether the proposed nomination meets the eligibility criteria for listing on the NRNP. A simple majority vote is needed for City Council to concur with the Commission's recommendation. If City Council concurs with the Commission's recommendation the State Historical Society of Iowa (SHSI) requires the Mayor also sign the enclosed Certified Local Government National Register Nomination Evaluation Report Form. The Planning Services Department will forward the form to the SHSI.

The National Register is the Federal Government's official list of historic properties worthy Ankiwis ntnrwt - of preservation. Listing in the National Register provides recognition and assists in preserving our Nation's heritage. Listing of the property provides recognition of the community's historic importance and assures protective review of Federal projects that might adversely affect the character of the historic property. Listing in the National Register does not mean that limitations will be placed on the properties by the Federal government. Public visitation rights are not required of owners. The Federal government will not attach restrictive covenants to the properties or seek to acquire them. Listing in the National Register results in: • Consideration in the planning for Federal, federally licensed,and federally assisted projects. Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 requires Federal agencies allow the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation an opportunity to comment on projects affecting historic propel-ties listed in the National Register. For further information please refer to 36 CFR 800. • Eligibility for Federal tax provisions. If a property is listed in the National Register,certain Federal tax provisions may apply. The Tax Reform Act of 1986 revised the historic preservation tax incentives authorized by Congress in the Tax Reform Act of 1976,the Revenue Act of 1978, the Tax Treatment Extension Act of 1980,the Economic Recovery Tax Act of 1981,and Tax Reform Act of 1984, and as of January 1, 1987,provides for a 20 percent investment tax credit with a full adjustment to basis for rehabilitating historic commercial,industrial, and rental residential buildings. The former 15 percent and 20 percent Investment Tax Credits(ITCs)for rehabilitation of older commercial buildings are combined into a single 10 percent ITC for Srxn IIIsmRIrAl.ol:u.umn commercial or industrial buildings built before 1936. The Tax Treatment Extension Act of 1980 600 Ens r Lon..,I provided Federal tax deductions for charitable contributions for conservation purposes of partial Drs Momr�,loan 50319 interests in historically important land areas or structures. Whether these provisions are advantageous to a property owner is dependent upon the particular circumstances of the property T.(515)281-5111 and the owner. Because tax aspects outlined above are complex, individuals should consult legal F.(515)242-6498 counsel or the appropriate local Internal Revenue Service office for assistance in determining the tax consequences of the above provisions. For further information please refer to 36 CFR 67 and WWW.0TRJ AI nrrnrRS.nito Treasury Regulation Sections 1.48-12(ITCs)and 1.170A-14(charitable contributions). © Consideration of historic values in the decision to issue a surface coal mining permit where coal is located, in accord with the Surface Mining and Control Act of 1977. For further information please refer to 30 CFR 700 et seq. '.... ® Qualification for Federal and State grants for historic preservation when funds are available. ® Eligibility for State Tax Credits for rehabilitation. Properties listed on the National Register, eligible for listing on the National Register or Barns constructed before 1937 are eligible to apply for a 25 percent state tax credit for rehabilitation. The cost of a 24-month qualified rehabilitation project would exceed either$25,000 or 25 percent of the fair market value for a residential property or bam less the land before rehabilitation. For commercial properties,the rehabilitation project would exceed 50 percent of the assessed value of the property less the land before rehabilitation -whichever is less. The State Historic Preservation office must approve the rehabilitation work before an amount of tax credits will be reserved for your project. There are limited credits available each year,so let us know if you want the application information. Owners of private properties nominated to the National Register of Historic Places have an opportunity to concur in or object to listing in accord with the National Historic Preservation Act and 36 CFR 60. Any owner or partial owner of private property who chooses to object to listing is required to submit to the State Historic Preservation Officer a notarized statement certifying that the party is the sole or partial owner of the private property and objects to the listing. Each owner or partial owner of private property has one vote regardless of what part of the property that party owns. If a majority of private property owners object,a property will not be listed;however,the State Historic Preservation Officer shall submit the nomination to the Keeper of the National Register for a determination of the eligibility of the property for listing in the National Register. If the property is then determined eligible for listing,although not formally listed, Federal agencies will be required to allow the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation an opportunity to comment before the agency may fund,license, or assist a project which will affect the property. If you choose to object to the listing of your property,the notarized objection must be submitted to the State Historical Society of Iowa,600 E. Locust,Des Moines,IA 50313 not more than 75 days from the date of this notice. '.. If you wish to comment on the nomination of the property to the National Register,please send your comments to the State Historical Society of Iowa before the State Nomination Review Committee meets on !i June 25,2015. A copy of the nomination and information on the National Register and the Federal tax provisions are available from the above address upon request.

As a participant in the Certified Local Government Program,the Dubuque Historic Preservation Commission is required to review and comment on proposed National Register nominations of properties within its jurisdiction. The State is required to provide you with a 60-day period for the review,unless we mutually agree to expedite the process. I am contacting you to ask that you initiate the review process for the Historic Preservation Commission. As an attachment to the notification email is a copy of the nomination,photographs,and the review form. The review process will require the following: ♦ The Historic Preservation Commission should review the nomination during one of their meetings. In advance of the meeting, please 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. You also need to send a formal invitation to the property owner/owners. If they are not familiar with the National Register of Historic Places,information about listing and the benefits of nomination is available at htW://www.nl2s.gov/nr/(see especially the Frequently Asked Questions and Owners sections): You also need to make available copies of the nomination for public review before the meeting. For example,leave a review copy at the courthouse and public library. Please indicate in your public meeting announcement that a review copy of the nomination is available and where the review copies can be found. ♦ 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 Bulletin 15,How to Apply the National Register Criteria for Evaluation). If the Commission feels that the property and the nomination meets the criteria,the Commission should check the box recommending that the property be listed. If the Commission feels that the property does not meet the criteria,then check the box recommending that the property not be listed. Your chief local elected official should use the same approach when reviewing the nomination. ♦ You might want to invite the individual who prepared the nomination to attend the public meeting and present the nomination. Please keep a record of the meeting(copy of the public notice, agenda,minutes, list of attendees). At the conclusion of the meeting,the Commission should make a motion regarding their recommendation. The Chairman of the Commission will complete Item#1,the Commission's potion of the review form. Be sure to fill in the date of the public meeting,sign the STATE HISTORICAL BUILDING • 600 E. LOCUST ST. - DES MOINES. IA 50319 • P: 515.281.5111 • CULTURALAFFAIRS.ORG 1 signature line and record any comments made by commission members during the meeting. If your chief local elected official attended the public meeting,inquire if he/she is prepared to sign the review form. ♦ In the event that your chief local elected official was unable to attend the meeting,the Commission Chairman should forward the review form to bim/her for review and comment. Have your chief local elected official sign the form and return it to the Historic Preservation Commission. ♦ Item#3 on the Review form asks for the review and signature of a preservation professional. If your commission does not have a professionally 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. ♦ After you have completed Items#I through 92(through#3 if a preservation professional is available),please make a copy of the completed review forms for your file and send the original copies of the completed forms to me. ♦ The Commission should keep the nomination and photographs. File them in your inventory,as you will need the information for future reference. If the Historic Preservation Commission and your chief local elected official disagree with one another on the property's National Register eligibility,both views will be presented to the SNRC for their consideration during review of the nomination. If both the Historic Preservation Commission(by Commission majority)and the Mayor do not consider the property eligible for National Register listing,we must halt the nomination. Be advised that when a nomination is halted,the property owner,the person who prepared the nomination or any interested party may appeal the decision. In addition,the nomination will still go forward to the National Park Service for an official"Determination of Eligibility." Please contact Paula Mohr at 515/281-6826 or paula.mok iowa.gov with any questions or concerns regarding the CLG program or the process for this review.

Iowa 7. Narrative Description: The Upper Iowa Street Historic District consists of most of two half-blocks that front onto the avenue between 11" and 12" streets. The district (Figure 1) is located in the northern part of the Dubuque downtown proper, is located in close proximity to a number of iconic Dubuque buildings (Dubuque City Hall, Prescott School). One of Iowa's earliest cities, Dubuque's original downtown developed along Main Street (parallel to Central Avenue and two blocks west), nearly a mile to the south of the south end of this district. While the downtown proper is broader in its scale, this is an arterial commercial district, being immediately contiguous and east of the Upper Main Street Historic District. Originally completely residential this district was substantially commercialized beginning in the late 19" Century.

The district idea represented an expansion of an initial consultant determination that the Arno Building, 1103-09 Iowa Street was potentially individually National Register of Places eligible. Three other very substantial commercial buildings that clustered in the same block prompted a district level approach (Jacobsen, 2003). This district is a single block in length, north and south and includes nine buildings, all but one of which are contributing buildings. The topography is completely level. Alleys border the east and west district boundaries while numbered streets do the same north and south. A non-historic building, 1172 Iowa Street, located on the northeast corner of the grouping, is excluded from the district. There is one vacant parcel that is included on the east side of the district. The district is as noted anchored and dominated by the very substantial and equally ornate two to three-story Queen Anne style edifices that combined ground level commercial spaces and upper level apartments. The Arno Building was an actual hotel. Full-height upper level bays or turrets are found on three of the examples. Elaborate ornamental brickwork combines with these projecting elements on the southern three buildings, while the elongated NPS Forth 10-900-a OMB Appio,eI ft 10240018 (886) United States Department of the Interior National Park Service National Register of Historic Places Continuation Sheet Section number 7 Page 7 Upper Iowa Street Historic District Dubuque County, Iowa Italianate style two-story block at 1163-69 Iowa Street, being earlier in date (1886) has a boldly profiled cornice, and enlarged end window sets in its upper level fenestration.

That building is a concrete block commercial building of recent vintage and is therefore excluded from the district. Storefronts on 1130, 1120 and 1106-12 Iowa Street have been covered with metal siding and some windows have been downsized, but the structural storefronts may remain in place. The bays have similarly been covered but the expectation remains that these coverings obscure extremely ornate pressed metal ornament. Because 1120 Iowa Street is a single story commercial its storefront covering renders it non-contributing. A visible ornamental brick parapet hints that this building also retains its structural storefront beneath its stucco cladding. 1920- George Scherer's Confectionery Integrity Evaluation: Overall the district retains a good level of historical integrity. This diminutive commercial district has survived largely intact while comparable buildings around it,to the north and south have been lost to the reconstruction of the downtown. It is important that the district remains a mix of earlier residential buildings and later-date commercial ones as that combination represents the significance of the district,being an early residential neighborhood that was largely and substantially re-built as the downtown expanded northward. The district retains all seven aspects of historical integrity. Integrity of location is vested in the level terrace setting of the district and particularly in its association with the Upper Main Street Historic District immediately west and the Dubuque City Hall and Prescott Elementary School, both built in 1857„ which are to the immediate east and northeast. Integrity of design is embodied in the surviving buildings and their highly ornamental detailing. The surviving residential buildings,vernacular in their type,reflect the commercial over-writing of the block. Central to the integrity of the district is the presence of a number of very substantial and stylistically ornate commercial blocks. There are four of these extant. Setting is retained in terms of topography,plat and architecture. The overall district setting is defined by substantial corner commercial buildings with intervening surviving residences in the west half of the district. The survival of two residential buildings as noted underscores the original use of this block for non-commercial purposes. Materials are predominantly brick, in several colors, along with ornamental stone and cast iron structural storefronts. There are some slip screens that hide additional materials and ornamentation and their removal will further enhance the eligible district. The use of permastone on 1157-59 Iowa Street represents a modernization effort for a residence that was also being used for business purposes. Workmanship is most notably vested in brick and stonework,pressed metal ornamentation, some original chimney profiles and cast iron work. The four key commercial building examples retain exemplary craftsmanship in their ornamentation. Feeling is sufficiently represented by the district despite its scale. Architecturally it represents a focused intensive ornamentation applied to a range of combination commercial/residential edifices. Integrity of association is based upon its proximity to other historic commercial clusters and districts and the still recognizable appearance of the historical buildings and their collective whole.

Statement of Significance: The Upper Iowa Street Historic District is National Register of Historic Places eligible on the local level on the basis of its architectural merit(Criterion C). The district represents the architectural expression that resulted from the over-writing of a purely residential part of the northern part of Dubuque's earlier downtown proper. Beginning in the mid-1880s substantial commercial buildings, in the Italianate style,began to displace homes and duplexes on either side of the north end of the 1100's block of Iowa Street. Then in the 1890s additional and more substantial and elaborate combination retail/residential buildings, designed in the Queen Anne style, completed that displacement of pre-existing buildings. This replacement process made room for these complex and fairly innovative designs and the clustering,while small in scale,makes them standout in Dubuque's surviving commercial architecture. The period of significance is 1872-ca.1930s. The period of significance starts with the construction of the oldest extant building and concludes with the permastone re-cladding of 1157-59 Iowa Street. This ending date represents the final substantial building alteration that impacted the historical district buildings. The district is a mix of residential and commercial buildings and this later effort to modernize the combination office/residence addresses the repurposing of the district for predominantly commercial purposes. This district is nominated in association with the multiple property document"Dubuque—The Key City: The Architectural and Historical Resources of Dubuque, Iowa, 1837-1955." That document defines a range of historical contexts (pages E9-175), a range of Dubuque styles (pages F-176-268), and further defines a commercial historic district as an eligible property type. This district is recommended as being National Register eligible as a such under the Architectural context,titled the Architecture of Dubuque, 1833-1955. This district was first recommended as being National Register eligible in 2003 as part of the comprehensive Phase III downtown survey phase. The MPDF cites the standard Dubuque Italianate commercial design as consisting of a single plane, unelaborated brick fagade, that is ornamented with upper level semi-circular arched windows, a bold metal or corbelled brick cornice and a high-set storefront, framed either in stone and cast iron, or all cast iron. Similarly the district buildings designed in the Queen Anne style conform to the standards set forth by the MPDF. The example of 1130 Iowa Street is even pictured as an excellent commercial stylistic example. This style overlays towers, orioles, turrets,bays and similar volumetric elaborations on an oversized commercial massing. Ornamental metal plays a larger role in the detailing. This style commonly overlaps with Romanesque components given the design emphasis on oversized stone frame entries or vertical window sets and carved stonework plays a central design role(Jacobsen, 2005, pp. E-176, 192-93). Historical Context and History: Dubuque's original downtown developed along Main Street to the south of 4th Street. By the post-Civil War years the downtown area had broadened to adjoining streets (Iowa Street and Central Avenue to the east and Locust Street to the west). Main Street and Central Avenue developed north-end commercial nodes between 10`h and 18'h streets for the latter street, and 10'b and 12'b streets for Main Street. The latter commercial node was just a half block west of this district. The proximity of the Dubuque City Hall(13'b and Central Avenue),the city high school (Central Avenue and 1P Street) and a key market area(City Hall block and 12"' Street west) all influenced the commercial development of the residential area that was centered between the two northward extensions of the downtown. The primacy of 12"' Street and its market meant that the pressure to redevelop residential lots for commercial purposes would come from the north end of the district. Commerce displaced this residential block from the north,beginning in the late 1870s. Still, it wasn't until the late 1890s that the block was fairly solidly infilled with commercial fronts. Four of these are exceptional and substantial designs and two represent some of the more ornate and well-preserved blocks that survive in the city. The block also contains one of the best-preserved two-story brick side gable residences and it is likely of very early date and represents a fragment of what was originally a residential neighborhood.

The two-story store building at 1154 Iowa Street was also present. Thus the north end of the district had been solidly commercialized. This push toward commercialization was cominw from the north. A number of blocks went up at 12th and Iowa Street in response to the growing importance of 12 west of Central as a public market place.
