Copyright 2014 City of Dubuque Action Items # 14. ITEM TITLE: National Register Nomination - Fenelon Place Residential Historic District SUMMARY: City Manager recommending approval of the Fenelon Place Residential Historic District Nomination and approval for the Mayor to execute the Certified Local Government National Register Nomination Evaluation Report Form. SUGGESTED DISPOSITION: Suggested Disposition: Receive and File; Approve ATTACHMENTS: Description Type ❑ Fenelon Place Residential Historic District NRHP Nomination-MVM City Manager Memo Memo ❑ National Register Nomination Submital Supporting Documentation ❑ Staff Memo Staff Memo ❑ Letters of Support Supporting Documentation THE CITY OF Dubuque UBgkE 1111114medca .i Masterpiece on the Mississippi 2007-2012-2013 TO: The Honorable Mayor and City Council Members FROM: Michael C. Van Milligen, City Manager SUBJECT: Fenelon Place Residential Historic District — NRHP Nomination DATE: June 4, 2015 The Fenelon Place Residential 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 Fenelon Place Residential 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. Bound by Hill Street, 3rd Street, 5th Street, Fenelon and the Fenelon Place Elevator, the Fenelon Place Residential Historic District contains 40 acres and 214 buildings with architectural significance as well as contributions to Dubuque's history. The core historic architecture consists of the earliest range of residential styles. The historical significance is that this was the first bluff top neighborhood to create its own elevator service which made this the city's first successful elevated neighborhood. I concur with the recommendation and respectfully request Mayor and City Council approval. Mic ael C.

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. You are invited to attend the State Nomination Review Committee meeting at which the nomination will be considered. The meeting will take place at Winterset Public Library, 123 N 2nd St, Winterset,IA. A meeting agenda is enclosed.

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.

The city is the county seat of Dubuque County. The original city proper is located on an extensive though narrow river terrace,with the city being ringed to the north,west and south by high bluffs. Over time these bluff fronts became residential nodes as technology enabled residents to ascend them. Fenelon Place is one of two residential areas that employed inclined lifts to this end(the other being the West 11th Historic District,NRIIP). The Fenelon Place district boundaries are defined by natural typography. To the east the steep bluff front is the location of the Fenelon Place Elevator. To the south,Dodge Street or State Highway 20 descends along a natural drainage or cut. The district boundary ends with the historic residential boundary in that direction. To the north 5th Street West similarly descends a steep cut in the bluffs. To the west Hill Street similarly drops in elevation, although in a less pronounced manner. In consequence,the district residents enjoy excellent views of the downtown and river to the east and reside in a self-defined district,based on geography and historical development. The district plateau streetscape is dominated by principal east/west running major streets,these from north to south being 5th Street West,Fenelon Place, and 3`d Street West. Lesser key cross streets are Hill Street to the west;Burch and Summit streets midway and finally Raymond Place along the east bluff line. These streets step up grade and terraces occur particularly along the north side of Fenelon Place. The district is most well known for its historical association with the Fenelon Place Elevator(aka 4th Street Elevator) which survives and continues to function. The elevator is included in this district given its direct contextual association with the development of the residential district. The elevator, addressed as 512 Fenelon Place,was individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places on August 3, 1978 and as a contributing property within the Cathedral Historic District (listed September 25, 1985) as amended. The elevator property consists of two buildings,two cars and the trackage,these comprising five contributing properties (two buildings, two objects, one structure). There are no other National Register listed properties within the historic district. The core historic architecture consists of the earliest Dubuque range of residential styles, these being principally the Italianate with a handful of Gothic Revival, Second Empire, and Queen Anne examples.

Iowa construction is represented by the Classical Revival style and a single Tudor Revival example(save for a second garage example). The Italianate style is represented by a range of substantial examples,many of which represent the villa sub-style. Originally set on large parcels, the majority of examples survive along the west portion of Fenlon Place,with numerous good examples close by to the south on 3rd Street West. A small number of Greek Revival style side gable row houses found on the west side of Summit Street or gable front side hall plans found on Summit Street. The Italianate style is simply dominant,with other period late Victorian styles being in the distinct minority. .R ,. lH }l✓ lT rte.:0 Figure 1: District's relationship with the City of Dubuque (Iowa Geographic Map Server, 2015, annotated) The second wave of house construction witnessed both the breaking up of larger open parcels or the replacement of earlier residences. The Classical Revival style was now dominant and the examples are large in scale and are higher-end examples of their style. A few Queen Anne mansions augment the larger house range, and are located along the west end of 3rd Street West. The residential architecture of the district's original historic core of residences reflects the then dominant Mid-19th Century and Early Victorian styles. The Italianate stylistic stamp predominates with 22 examples, with 15 of these being concentrated along Fenelon Place and 3rd Street West. The majority of these are purer stylistic examples that include several villa examples of early date. Other period styles,the Greek Revival, Gothic Revival, Second Empire and the Queen Anne, are represented in smaller numbers,the most numerous of these being the last-named with five examples. These being later in date, they are located for the most part around the periphery of the original Fenelon Place core.

Its distribution includes the entire district nearly half of the examples representing the eastern portion offenelon Plaice and the replacement of some substantial early frame radial style residences. National orpoptdarhouse/cottage types including a simplified Colonial Revival style comprised the final district infilling.

Fenlon Hill or even Fenlon Place was commonly broadly used to refer to the larger neighborhood beginning in the pre-Civil War years. The district (Figure 1)was filly developed as aresidential neighborhood. However, two commercial properties are located at Hill and 5th and reflect the mixed use of Hill Street. With one great exception,there are no historic institutional or religious buildings within the district. The Tri-State Convalescent Center is located at 9013'”. Major commercial and institutional land uses border the survey area along its southern edge.

Three streets run the full east/west length of the survey area(3`d, Fenelon and 5"). Just two cross streets, Burch and Summit, connect the perimeter streets, 5" and 3`d. Consequently the vast majority of homes front north or south onto the east/west streets. East and west fronting houses are found on both sides of Burch and Summit,the west side of Gilmore, and both sides of Cardiff,which projects southward below 3rd Street West. Houses which front onto 3`d and 5", to the east of Summit Street, are set atop increasingly higher terraces as one proceeds eastward. The survey area topography consists of two prominent ridgelines that orient roughly east and west. One runs south of 3rd Street West, while the other runs between that street(on the south) and 5"to the north. Hill Street runs through a broad drainage that orients to the northeast and both 5th and 3rd Street Wests follow steeply pitched drainage basins. Despite the topography, streets assume a traditional grid pattern,with north/south streets being aligned with the bluff front in a northwest/ southeast orientation. The plats and sub-plats produced lots of varied dimensions. Alleyways occur only along Hill and the several east/west streets. District Property List: Historical property names employed in the property list are used when an original owner/tenant has been identified and a more exact or documented construction date has been determined. The absence of a historical name indicates that there is no documented owner/tenant candidate. Contributing or non-contributing property status is given in column one for the primary building and in column three for any outbuildings. Non-contributing property evaluations are boldened within the text to distinguish them. A contributing building in this submission necessarily meets the registration requirements of the MPDF. Re-clad buildings that were altered within the period of significance are deemed to be contributing. Later re-clad buildings are also deemed to be contributing as long as the re-cladding did not substantially obscure building massing or ornamentation. Buildings that cannot be visually identified relative to their original design due to additions (mainly to the fagade) or the building in of porches are deemed to be non-contributing to the district. Secondary buildings are contributing buildings despite recladding as long as their massing and scale can be readily discerned.

District Alterations: This district has suffered little in terms of building loss since it was first evaluated in 2005. Just two new buildings have been added or are now under construction since that time,. A frame duplex at 604 Fenlon Place is replacing a fire- damaged house. Across the street to the northwest is a very substantial condominium complex(2010). This three-story edifice is less visually apparent and represents new construction on a former vacant parcel. The only notable non-residential property is the Tri-State Convalescent Center at 901 3rd Street West,built in 1971. It replaced a single substantial residence. Hospital expansion also removed several properties along the south side of 3rd Street West(to the west of 971 3rd Street West) and this redeveloped parcel has been excluded from the district. A substantial condominium, located at 416-18 Raymond Place is newly constructed and is excluded from the district. Integrity Evaluation: The district retains a high level of historical integrity. This very isolated plateau-top residential district derives much of its sense of time and place from its topography,tree canopy and its eastward various view sheds. The main streets deliver the visual essence of the district,which is to say the earliest range of styles,these being 3rd, Fenelon Place, Summit and Burch Streets. The later substantial building-up, in the Classical Revival style, is represented by Fenlon Place(east end), Summit Street,3rd Street West and Hill Street. The northeast core of the district,representing post-World War II infilling, represents the construction of smaller residences in types and styles of the era. Cooper Place represents the majority of these examples. The district retains all seven aspects of historical integrity. Integrity of location is vested in the relatively level plateau setting of the district and particularly in its association with the several historic approaches from the city below, these being 3rd Street West, 5th Street West, Hill Street and the Fenlon Place Elevator. Integrity of design is embodied in the contributing buildings and their highly ornamental detailing. Setting is retained in terms of topography,plat and architecture. The overall district setting is defined by the plateau location,the terraces that define Fenlon Place,the tree canopy and the architecture. Materials are brick, clapboard, stone foundations, and ornamental stone. District houses are slightly more likely to retain their original clapboard or weatherboard exteriors or very early re-claddings such as asbestos siding. Workmanship is most notably vested in brick and stonework,woodwork as is represented by fenestration and entry detailing, architectural ornament and original chimney profiles. Feeling is sufficiently represented by the district overall but particularly by concentrations of early and or similar styles with parts of the district. This is particularly true of Fenelon Place and the west end of 3rd Street West.

Statement of Significance: Architects, Continued: Keenan, John Spencer, John Builders, Continued: Cooper, Dean and Regina McCoy, John Voelker, Chris H. Voelker Realty Company Wilson-Benedict,Inc. The Fenelon Place Historic District is significant on the local level for its architectural (Criterion C) and historical (Criterion A), Community Planning and Development historical associations. The architectural significance of the district is based upon its serving as the desirable elevated location for the design and construction of high-end Mid-19" Century and Late Victorian residential residences that exploited the prominent and then tree-less bluff-top district setting. The historical significance of the district was similarly based upon the fact that this was the first bluff top neighborhood to create its own elevator service and that improvement combined with immediate proximity to the downtown proper,just below,made this the city's first successful elevated neighborhood. The convenience and relative low cost of the elevator service allowed for that residential development well before streetcar and related technologies could conquer the hills that flanked the city on all but the Mississippi River side. The period of significance is 1856-1965. The period of significance concludes with the National Register 50-year end of significance standard. Significant dates are 1884,the year the original Fenelon Place Elevator was opened to public use; 1894,the year the elevator was rebuilt and improved; and 1906,the year streetcar service was extended to the district via Hill Street. The district includes the Fenelon Place Elevator,which is individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places (1978). This district was first recommended as being National Register eligible in 2003 as part of the comprehensive Phase IV survey phase. Those recommendations were incorporated into the developing multiple property document titled The ArchitecturalAnd Historical Resources ofDubudue, 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 residential historic district as an eligible property type. This district is recommended as being National Register eligible as a residential district under the following five contexts, 1859-1955. These contexts are: Frontier City on the Mississippi River, 1833-1858. The Key City, 1859-1893 Fitful Growth and Maturation, 1893-1910 An Era of Stability, 1910-1955 The Architecture of Dubuque, 1833-1955 The Fenelon Place Historic District meets the registration requirements and historical integrity standards as set forth in the MPD. The MPD elaborates on the associated contextual periods that apply to the city overall and to this specific district. The property types as defined by the MPD follow standardized National Register styles and types. Many of the district's most distinctive architectural examples were used to define the citywide architectural styles as they were applied in Dubuque. 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 8 Page 32 Fenelon Place Residential Historic District Dubuque County,Iowa The multiple property document defines a range of individual property types including the residential type,the multiple- family residential type, and the residential district property type. Registration requirements are established for each of these property types. The following requirements are set for the district property type: •Residential, Commercial, Industrial District properties must be directly associated with the City of Dubuque, 1833 to present. •Residential, Commercial, Industrial District properties must have a direct and significant association with one or more of the established historical contexts which are defined in this document. •Residential, Commercial, Industrial District properties Individual institutional properties eligible under Criterion A must retain the integrity aspects of location, design and the cumulative aspects of feeling and association. The property has to be in its original location, and its original design must be visually apparent,unobstructed by additions or alterations. The integrity aspects of setting,materials and workmanship are expected to have changed the most, and their substantial loss does not disqualify eligibility. •Residential, Commercial, Industrial District properties eligible under Criterion B are eligible if they retain the same integrity aspects required for Criterion A(see above). The aspects of workmanship and materials must at least be minimally reflected in the visible fagade. •Residential, Commercial, Industrial District properties eligible under Criterion C must represent a significant style, type,period or method of construction. Rarity of example is a justified reason for significance if the property represents a once common type now rarely found. Many Dubuque properties will warrant state or national levels of significance because they combine architectural significance with rarity. Significance is possessed if the property represents and interprets the working career of a notable artist, architect, engineer or landscape architect and explains how that individual contributed to their respective fields. A property is significant if it possesses high artistic qualities, which characterize the architectural heritage of Dubuque. •Residential, Commercial, Industrial District properties are eligible under Criterion D if they possess the potential to yield information through archeological treatment. For subsurface remains of buildings, structures or objects, it is expected that the integrity aspects of materials, workmanship, and the cumulative aspects of feeling and association are sufficiently retained so that the property is recognizable and qualifies to yield information. For the subsurface remains of dumps, sinks, or other cultural debris, it is necessary that the deposits be relatively intact and undisturbed. The individual nomination form must identify key research questions to be answered and must explain how the information yielded from the property will shed light on these questions.

The majority of early frame residences and many brick homes do not survive. This is particularly true of Fenelon Place, 3r6 and 5a'streets,which were almost completely redeveloped beginning in the 1890s. Summit was the first cross street and it developed along its west side and the north part of its east side prior to the Civil War. Burch Street developed south to north beginning in the middle 1880s. Cardiff Street similarly was built up during the 1880s, but from north to south. Hill Street developed in two phases, during the late 1880s-1896 on its north half, and between 1893 and 1901 on its south half. Fenelon Place was as noted re-built on the south side of its east end beginning in the late 1890s. Houses on the north side of that street dated 1898-1911. These house designs were executed in the Classical Revival style, as were those along Burch Street(west side,north half of the street)and Hill Street. Figure 3 shows the chronological distribution of 63 surviving pre-1900 houses. The pattern depicts agood number of early surviving houses but it also shows the onset of are-building phase that started during the second half of the 1880s. The surviving pre-1870 houses, 17 in number, are clustered along the south side of Fenelon, on Summit, and on the north side of 3rd Street West,west of Summit. Scattered survivors are to be found on Burch, and 5ei streets.

The First World War brought a halt to the construction, with just two new houses dating to 1915-19. House building resumed post-war with 11 new homes being built between 1920 and 1932. The northeast quadrant of the survey area was re-platted in 1950 and virtually all of the 16 minimal traditional designs were built on Cooper Place,Raymond Place, or Gilmore Street, beginning in the early 1950s. The west end of Cooper Place began its initial development in 1940-41 when two cottages were built opposite the Claridge Apartments. Other infill forms included bungalows (five),four squares (five),revival style cottages (three), Craftsman style(one), and two split-foyer examples. The Fenlon Moque: The two points where elevated railroads developed in Dubuque marked the most prestigious bluff-front residential neighborhoods. Grove Terrace or 11th Street(National Register of Historic Places, 2004) and Fenelon Place shared physical prominence and a splendid isolation that was borne of their elevated locations. Curiously the origin of the name Fenlon is unexplained. There was an Irish family of miners by that name that resided in the Cardiff Street area just after the Civil War. But Fenlon pre-dates the war. Julius Graves made Fenelon what it was. His nearby stately Fenelon Place mansion(extant but altered), located atop Prospect Hill,to the north of 5th Street and outside this district, was termed the"Executive Mansion"as of mid-1867 when Graves was elected mayor of Dubuque. The Herald reported: Yesterday we took a stroll on Third street bluff. By the way why do not the residents on Fenlon extend the classical nomenclature of their locality and give us something better than [the name] Third Street Bluff[?] It is out of place and grates on the ear. "Third street slough"will do that is beyond redemption as an attractive place. But the bluff, one of the most beautiful in the city, or along the entire river,from its beauty deserves a suggestive name. What it shall be we leave to those immediately interested. We urge, however, that a change be made (Dubuque Herald, June 19, 1867). A 1957 retrospective treatment of the neighborhood also linked the Graves'presence with the identify of the area: The J. H. Graves home was a Mecca of social life. The Graves were related by marriage to Dubuque's famed Langworthys. When the latter came home from New York for a summer visit, the street buzzed with excitement. People saw and were seen. Parties were lavish, conversation eager. It was a time to be happy and young and excited. Other landed gentry on this personality street knew the format of aristocratic living. But the Graves were the titlists,their old neighbors agree. Mrs. Graves was said to have dressed like an empress. A street that halts on a bluff overlooking a panorama of the Mississippi Valley,Fenlon Place did not depend on social power for its fascination. Take the touchy subject of gossip. Fenlon Place thrived on it. But even that was done differently. It was not malicious. It was clever. If somebody got in some mix-up, it spread up and down the street quickly and the people smiled knowingly. But no malicious jibes or snubs. The people were just too light-hearted and gay and full of fun. "Fun,with money to help it along...that was Fenlon Place,"one old resident remembers. They weren't busy trying to impress each other. It was taken for granted everyone was "somebody." So they could devote themselves to intimate conversation, secret dreams of the future, good games and a daily look at the breath- taking river valley beneath them.

There's no mistake about the imprint Fenlon Place stamped on the boy who has become a famous writer. His son, Thomas, edits a weekly paper in the author's Connecticut home nostalgically called the"Fenlon Place Journal." Here was the ideal spot to watch a horrible, but fascinating fire. In the 1890s several Dubuque business landmarks were leveled in deadly fires. Some were connected with well-heeled Fenlon residents. But the sheer magic of a large fire populated the bluff as young and old watched in silent fascination from the perfect vantage point. And here of course is the celebrated, ever-efficient Fenlon Place elevator, still five cents a ride after 74 years... The Graves house is the only one to exit from the scene although others have been streamlined somewhat. It was three stories like several other Fenlon houses... When Graves' Commercial State Bank went down in a fire in 1888, amid some hint of a bank shortage,things were not quite the same on Fenelon. Graves'position as a rich man crumbled. But there were other rich people,the Tredways,the W. G. Foxes, the Peter Seipples,the Charles Merkle's, the Bissells....In fact Miss Adele Wullweber says that although the street had its wealth, it was predominantly middle class. At any rate the neighbors cut out the social barriers. By 1920 all the houses were built,the street was paved and sidewalks were in. New families came along such as the John Cunninghams, and the George Bogues. But older residents like Theodore Ris stayed on. Some houses began to take in roomers, one converted into an apartment,younger people moved away. Yet some of the original flavor remained(Clark Kalvelage, "Fabulous Fenelon: The Best View in Town...Beautiful Old Homes Mark Stately Street,"Dubuque Telegraph-Herald, December 15, 1957). General Historical Development: The district was populated early on with a number of early frame houses and cottages. It is probable that those who lived there were associated with mining efforts to the west of the city. The Dubuque Republican reported, in late 1856: The appearance of this bluff dotted over with fine cottages and prominent buildings as viewed from the east side of the Mississippi is truly a beautiful scene—one which strikes the stranger with astonishment in viewing a city,which for fine business blocks,beautiful residences and grand romantic scenery surroundings is not surpassed by any city in the Western States (Dubuque Republican,November 21, 1856). Early City Council actions affected developing streets in this area. Austin Adams and others asked the Council on September 15, 1856,to establish a formal grade on Fenelon Place. Most curious were several actions relative to Summit Street. Summit was laid out 40' wide between 3`d and 5th and ran between City Lots 734 and 721 in L S. Jannett's plat. The street was to take 20' from each of the lots. Apparently developers blocked the street given the note that the"street has been obstructed much to the inconvenience of the residents in the vicinity and it being the only access to 5" Street." The Council acted on March 23, 1857,recommending that the City accept the street and directed the City Engineer to remove the obstructions. That action was re-approved on April 20 and May 4, 1857 in response to the petition of A. S. Bunting and 25 other individuals. As late as July 13, 1857 Ed Mattox communicated to the Council relative to re-opening Summit Street. Fifth Street was frequently on the Council docket and it is difficult to know which segment of that street was being considered. The south side ditch along the road,between Bluff Street and the top of the hill was judged to be too shallow and caused flooding on the lower parts of the street. The Council appropriated $185 to deepen it. The Committee on Streets, charged with examining possible street connections in the area between Hill and Julien,reported on September 1, 1856, "it would require to make 5" Street an easy grade, a cutting from 10 to 15 feet in depth, and to do this, would cost some three thousand dollars or more." Similar grading 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 8 Page 37 Fenelon Place Residential Historic District Dubuque County.Iowa was needed to extend 5"beyond Hill Street and if that work was done, it"would in effect make property of less value than at present." The City Marshall was instructed on October 10, 1854 to pay damages resulting from opening 5th across the land of Thomas Kelly. On October 1, 1855,the Council adopted the City Engineer's formal profile for 5" "west of the old incorporation line"and for Hill Street,between Julien and 5" Street. The Council received complaints on June 2, 1857,that contractor P. Wells, grading on 5",was undermining fences. On June 9, 1856 the City Engineer presented a profile for 5", between Bluff and Hill Street. A petition was received to further extend 5th beyond Hill Street. The earliest detailed reports of house building atop or near Prospect Hill date to 1856-57 when a lengthy list of new houses and cottages clustered mainly along the east base of the hill along he east side of Bluff or on the 5th Street hill to the north. A number of listings were along Prospect,which then continued as far south as 4th. Fenelon and 4th were being both used, and 4th apparently ascended the bluff front at least in the imagination. J. A. Parker had a frame dwelling on 4th,west of Prospect. Rev. G. R. Trowbridge had his frame dwelling on the corner of 4th and Prospect. Machinist J. W. Glynn lived in a new frame residence on Fenelon between Bluff and Locust. E. W. Deitrich had finished a $6,500 brick mansion on the corner of Fenelon and Summit. The Cannon Brothers, grocers, similarly built a two-story brick residence on Fenelon, east of Summit. Gardener Ed Mattox built two two-story dwellings on Summit. Land Agent J. M. Simmeral built a fine double brick building on the summit of 5th for $3,200. Other listings in the newspaper could not be found in the 1857 city directory(Dubuque Herald, March 8, 1857). The missionary Dr. Dean was quoted as comparing the vista from the bluff tops with the scenery around Hong Kong. The editor of the Daily Times, writing in mid-1857, lauded the bluffs for their protection against the Mosquito plague: Having taken our abode on the bluffs,to our great chagrin,we have no attentions from this gauzy-winged, bed- room bird. It is understood,however,that such of our adipose aldermen as live below the bluffs,have its nocturnal respects (Dubuque Daily Times, July 31, October 31, 1857). The same writer also encouraged the planting and preservation of trees on the bluffs: On the bluffs, every street should be decorated with trees as soon as it is graded,by so doing, in a very short time the walks there will be unexcelled in delightfulness. Dubuque can be made into an arena of beauty, if we begin now, and make no halt for improvements...The groves on the bluffs should be only judiciously thinned...For the bluffs we feel especial concern, the forest growth there must be spared. We know the denuding proponents of the Yankee, and his passion to slash, in this case, must be checked(Dubuque Daily Times, October 29, 1857). A major housing development was a string of houses built by Rufus Rittenhouse during 1857. The Daily Times reported: Rufus Rittenhouse is building a block of eight brick houses on Summit street, near the residence of Mr. Pinto, opposite the property of E. Mattocks, and within five minutes walk of the Post Office. They are admirably located for first class residences,having a good neighborhood, and a delightful view of the country. Mr. R. is erecting them for the purpose of accommodating our citizens with good homesteads. They are well built,have every convenience that a family requires, and will be sold,we understand, on favorable terms. These buildings survive today as 419-21, 427-33 and 439-49 Summit. Reference to the proximity of the downtown envisioned a brisk walk down 5" Street(Dubuque Daily Times, August 24, 1857).

As the following account indicates, anything hauled up from the city below brought with it a premium in delivery charges. Water too was commonly hauled for those residences and tenements that lacked storage cisterns. By 1865,mandatory cisterns for every residence were advocated and it was claimed that the city would have gained 1,000 more residents had such an ordinance been enacted ten years earlier (Dubuque Herald, August 2, 1865): Filling Up: Everybody wants to live in the Fourth Ward this fall,from some unaccountable reason. They say it is very healthy in that locality,victuals taste better,the air is pure, and as for the society,that is a No. 1,the cream of the city. Those bluffs are not hard to climb, and no person grumbles about giving a dollar extra for having a cord of wood hauled up there...In many parts of the ward there is a bustle and moving that reminds one of Mayday in New York—families filling up unoccupied tenements, and parsons searching for a dwelling to move into...(Dubuque Herald, September 29, 1864). During the post-Civil War years,the bluffs began to be appreciated for their aesthetic and healthy qualities. The Herald printed this excellent description in mid-1866: On The Bluffs. —The stranger visiting Dubuque should not fail to go to the bluffs just back of the city, and feast his eyes on the beautiful panorama spread out before him. It is a sight well worth seeing;worth the pencil of a Rembrandt or Alliston; worthy a niche in the catalogues of American scenery;worthy the most impassioned rhapsodies on the part of every true enthusiast. Below the spectator many hundred feet, lies the business portion of Dubuque,with its rows of substantial brick buildings, clean pavements, glittering spires, stately churches, quiet dwelling houses, and the might father of waters, like a broad belt of silver, murmuring at their base. Directly opposite are the high bluffy shores of Illinois an Wisconsin,now clothed in all the glory of nature's brightest green, while Dunleith with its spacious elevator and depot buildings lies sleeping in the distance. The whole scene is one of sublimity,beauty and grandeur, and when viewed in the sunlight with the flickering shadows of waving trees and passing clouds cannot fail of impressing the spectator with the most profound feelings of awe and admiration.... On the heights are to be found many splendid private residences. Great taste and elegance is displayed in the arrangement of the grounds, and many pastures of flowers are almost exotic in their beauty and fragrance,wile apple trees of proportions and fruitfulness that would compare favorably with those of the old Bay State, are quite common. We could not help admiring the magnificent grapery of Platt Smith, Esq., which sends forth at the proper season a perfect harvest of the most luscious grapes. When they get ripe may we be there to see. We should be happy to give an extended description of the many palatial houses on the bluffs, but space forbids. All we have to say is, that if any one can walk around the suburbs of Dubuque for an hour and not have their ideas of the city expanded, enlarged and strengthened,we are willing to stand treat and they can pay for it (Dubuque Herald, June 12, 1866). Living on the bluffs and getting there readily were too different things. When wet the unpaved streets up the bluff were barely passable and when wet and frozen,the Herald observed"a person could go all over the city with a pair of skates,while those unfortunate individuals living on the bluffs were forced to adopt the style that the serpent assumed after tempting Eve, or else go up to the edge and roll off." The same source described the fate of a resident living at the head of Julien Avenue who tired to go to the city for his usual dinner. That individual "tumbled down three hundred and forth-nine times and cracked his skull in twelve places"getting to his meal(Dubuque Herald,February 16, 1867). Critically vital street improvements greatly facilitated bluff-top living. Hill Street was first improved in mid-1867 with a combination of grading,macadamizing and the construction of stone retaining walls. A Mr. Brophy, a resident of the city for NPS Form 10999a OMBAppiovoo No 10218818 (68r) United States Department of the Interior National Park Service National Register of Historic Places Continuation Sheet Section number 8 Page 39 Fenelon Place Residential Historic District Dubuque county.Iowa several yeas, was a veteran of stonework at West Point,Fort Sumter(Charleston, South Carolina)and the foundation for New York City's Crystal Palace, had the contract for the stonework. This back way to the bluff top was likely used for many years, at least by wheeled traffic. The opening of Hill Street resulted in a flurry of commercial buildings around its junction with Julien Avenue(now University) and 8'r Street. Harken's Nursery, established in 1872 at 5'r and Hill,was the furthest out example along Hill (Dubuque Herald,July 31, 1867). P &, t Figure 6: 1872 Bird's Eye View Lithograph detail, looking west Plans for 3`r Street improvements followed later that same yea. Thomas Harrington got the contract to excavate,gutter, macadamize and also to lay up massive stone retaining walls along that street. The residents along the street paid a special assessment of$1,500 towards the work. The Herald considered the work"of great importance, and when it is completed it will add materially to the beauty of the city s well as increase the value of property in its neighborhood." The work under the Harrington contract unfortunately ceased when the money did and floods wiped out what little had been accomplished. It is difficult to determine how much work was accomplished during 1867. An early September report described the 3rd Street work as running from Bluff to Summit"up which no carriage has been hauled for eight years,is being made one of the easiest up-lull roads in the city, by grading and macadamizing to prevent the ravages of water, solid stone ways will be constructed to convey it down upon each side of the road." The cost was put at$4,500. The city committed another$1,000 in August 1868 but no bids were received. An additional$500 resulted in the awarding of a new contract to F. Beyer. Again the Herald noted the great need for the work and lauded Mayor Sol Turck for cutting the"red tape of committees" in getting the work underway. It NPS Forth 10-900-a OMB Appio,eI No.10240018 (886) United States Department of the Interior National Park Service National Register of Historic Places Continuation Sheet Section number 8 Page 40 Fenelon Place Residential Historic District Dubuque County.Iowa wasn't long before the major was being criticized for the debt which the city took on. The series of Samuel Root Street photographs included in this report depict this street work of 1867-68. William Rebman had a contract for $6,500 to macadamize 3rd between Bluff and Summit in 1870 (Dubuque Herald, August 21, September 5, 1867; October 24, 1868; December 18, 1870).' Things went better in improving 5" Street. The Herald reported in late August 1867"Work on the 5" Street improvement has been fairly completed. With 3rd and 5th Street streets improved so as to allow carriage access to residences on the bluffs in this neighborhood,that portion of the city will be largely benefited. Shot Tower operator James Hughes picked up specimens of lead ore along the grading route along 5", and the same source boasted"Dubuque builds her streets on mineral wealth and thinks nothing odd." In other words, lead mining properties were so common place, streets could be graded across some known sites. As was the case with 3rd,this street was being graded and macadamized at a cost of$6,000 (Dubuque Herald, August 21, September 5, 1867; September 11, 1867)." Even as these two eastern gateways to the Fenelon area were being improved attention was also being paid to its rear approach,via Hill Street. Expenditures along that steep ascent totaled $1,200 in 1867. The Herald described the street as "one of the most important in the city,which has long been in a deplorable condition, a mere gully, has been graded and macadamized, and a wall of solid masonry built, to prevent the road bed from being worn away again by the current that comes pouring down the ravine." The City Engineer was reported as conducting a survey of Fenelon Place in late April 1872 "preparatory to the grading of the same." During the first week of May a party of City officials returned to that same street to inspect its sidewalks,which were the subject of a dispute between the property owners and the City. They determined to leave the sidewalks at a ten-feet length(Dubuque Herald, September 5, 1867; April 24,May 5, 1872)." The 1872 aerial view (Figure 6) depicts a fairly compactly developed Fenelon neighborhood. Many of the houses are quite substantial. 3rd Street West ascends the bluff to the north of the Cathedral. Fifth Street, with its recognizable northward jog from 4th at the base of the bluff, parallels 3`d to the north. As of this time only the north side of 3`d,both sides of Fenelon, both sides of 5`h, and Burch and Summit streets were built up. The 1872 image, in sharp contrast to period photographs, represents particularly the area south of 3`d Street as being tree-covered. Two houses are visible on Cardiff Street although the street itself is not drawn in. A correlation of the 1873-74 city directory entries for this area results in 32 occupied addresses as of 1873. No Burch Street entries were found. Nine residences were addressed to Summit, above Fenelon. Sixteen addresses were along Fenelon, clustered mostly towards its western end,with Julius Grave's residence being the easternmost listed,being six houses east of Summit. Eight 3`d Street listings were all(save for the Langworthy-Massey residence just east of Hill Street)on the north side of that street. These too clustered towards Summit. Two residences had a number of boarders,the third house on 3`d east of Summit had eight listings,while Graves had two boarders. Two other homes had a single border. All of the four 5`h Street listings clustered on either side of Summit and that street. Those of our citizens who have not been on the hills for some time would be surprised to see the improvements of all kinds that is going on. Houses are being built everywhere, and new streets are being laid out in all directions. Many down town people are moving on the bluffs. It is thought that the population west of Bluff street will reach 12,000. (Dubuque Herald, July 12, 1877). Bluff mania didn't captivate everyone, one notable exception was M. Allison,probably the son of William B. Allison,who left the heights for a home on Locust in 1867(Herald, July 21, 1867). Third was also being improved to the west of Hill Street during 1867, with the expenditure of$1,000 to grade and macadamize that section(Dubuque Herald September 5, 1867). raao,m 0No&, CA,e�mm,No ,o,aoo,a United States Department of the Interior National Park Service National Register of Historic Places Continuation Sheet Section number 8 Page 41 Fenelon Place Residential Histonc District Dubuque couni Im The frequent freshets down the various drainages would wash out larger stones and obstruct the roads leading up the bluffs. Such was the case on 3rd, atop the bluff as of late October 1880. The editors of the Herald called for their removal or their pulverization into smaller obstructions. A similar washout or cave in took place in August 1895 at the head of 3rd, offering "a temporary inconvenience to the traveler (Dubuque Herald,October 29, November 10, 1880; August 29, 1895). While the bluffs were growing increasingly popular for homesteading,it was finally the exhaustion offlatland lots that drove the multitudes to the heights around the city. Reliable and frequent car service also played a key factor. The Herald recorded two new developments in the city during 1880. The first was the increased use of the streetcars for pleasure riding, chiefly mothers and their children, on pleasant afternoons. The second was the scarcity of convenient building lots. `Building lots below the bluff are getting scarce. Thefew remaining command a good price" the newspaper observed Demolitionand replacement on these coveted lots was also growing more commonplace(Dubuque Herald, September 28 1880). By early 1881 Fenlon Place was once again boasting some emerging tree cover. Residents werereportedtrimming their shade trees along their street in early May(Dubuque Herald,May 1, 1881). Water main extensions were authorized for Burch south to 3's, along Summit south to 3'" and along the full length of Cardiff Street in 1887. Hydrants were put in place at the comers ofJames and 3'sand 3'" and Summit(Dubuque Herald, June 11, 188]). - ; I r""` oily Figure]: A treeless bluff overview from the downtown,looking southwest, cmid-1880s (Center For Dubuque History,Loras College,Photo Collection,#NAC 8096) Figure#7 depicts the original 4th Street Elevator building is visible at the far left south of the Platt Smith House(non- extant). v 86) 1&o)0 aws Pow No.10210018 United States Department of the Interior National Park Service National Register of Historic Places Continuation Sheet Section number 8 Page 42 Fenelon Place Residential Histonc District Dubuque county.

The earlier plat included the south side of 5a'Street. Note also that Fenelon was still called 4a'and that the larger area was called Prospect Hill, a name that was used in its principal plat(Map of the City ofDubuque,Iowa, 1888. New York: Leggo Brothers &Company). Street railways, as earlier noted, facilitated through-traffic across the district and encouraged the development of Fenelon Place and other western points. The Nanonal Demokrat observed in 1876 "Reasons that Dubuque has to tie together the settlement on the Bluffs and West Dubuque through a street railway have brought various plans at different times." A Lieutenant Sloan"from the East" visited the city at that time and suggested"a steam elevator...a cable drawn car with aline up and down...4a'Street best for this." Regular streetcar service would then take riders farther west. Note that this meant that the elevated line would communicate between two separate car systems, one below and the other above the bluff(Dubuque National Dem okra¢May 25, 18]6). Other developers were confidant that streetcars could be hauled up the bluff fronts. At the same time initial efforts to establish an uphill true streetcar service proceeded forward and what was first called the"Julien Avenue Railroad Company" Omincorporated and given a 20-year right-of-way. It began service a year later (in the meantime Mr. Beavis' West Dubuque nibus line was packed,using the same point of ascent, as the West Dubuque Street Railroad and would provide successfid service to the suburbs, following 0,Hill Street, etc. unfit 1884 (Dubuque Herald,July 25,August 31, 18]6; Dubuque National Dem okra¢May 25,June 15, 1876; Dubuque Die Iowa, September 13,November 8, 18]7). The 4a'Street Elevator idea didn't assume solid form want 1883. Mr. J. K. Graves announced plans to sink a tunnel 50- 100' into the bluff. The gas-powered elevator would then lift vertically. Within two weeks the precursor of the present system was decided upon and contracts let The Herald noted"When completed it will be one of the most beneficial and best NPS Form 10999a OMBAppiovoo No 10218818 (68r) United States Department of the Interior National Park Service National Register of Historic Places Continuation Sheet Section number 8 Page 43 Fenelon Place Residential Historic District Dubuque county.Iowa enterprises of the season, and we sincerely hope the projectors of this scheme will be liberally rewarded for their enterprise" Legend states that the first scheme was simply a private convenience for Graves who wished to go home in Fenelon Place for lunch and a mp each workday. Neighbors were soon paying a nickel to use the system and the scale grew more complex. The Herald account references multiple promoters and the system required an operator to be on duty so this story is likely apocryphal. Fires provided opportunities to upgrade the original scheme and the several different setups visible in the historical photographs(see below) are readily explained by these burnings. The first fire destroyed the street elevator in 1887. A second blaze destroyed the power house at the top of the]rill in 1893 (Dubuque Herald, July 15, 29, 1883). The Weekly Times chided the negligent firemen for allowing the loss of the twin cars as well: The two cars stood under the shed midway between the top and bottom and with very little trouble they might have been blocked and saved, but a half dozen firemen stood watching the fire from the bottom of the hill and let them run down and be destroyed. It was a remarkable piece of supineness for the men who are well paid for the energies they expend for the city(Dubuque Weekly Times,May 26, 1893). William B.Lapharn, 4'r Street Elevator Superintendent,lived at 119 Fenelon Place as of 1888 (City Directory). z Y , Figures 9-10: The Farley 4 Street Elevator, c.1nid-1880s (left)and in an 1889 lithograph(right) (Photo EVM7525, Center For Dubuque History,Looms College,left, and Dubuque: The Key City of Iowa, 1889) Figure 9 depicts a still largely barren bluff from with only a scattering of residences even near the bluff front.Julius Graves established a private elevator system in 1882 to expedite his lunch visits home to Fenelon Place. His"railway' franchise was awarded on June 5, 1882 and the first trip took place on July 25, 1882. Grave's gardener ran the steam-powered affair from the top of the bluff, and provided his boss with three-daily trips. The July 19, 1884 fire and neighborly interest caused the elevator to be rebuilt more substantially. That system is depicted in the above image. The elevator was again consumed by fire in 1893. The Weekly Times observed"it will be greatly missed by the cliff dwellers" The financial recession NPS Form 10999a OMBAppiovoo No 10218818 (68r) United States Department of the Interior National Park Service National Register of Historic Places Continuation Sheet Section number 8 Page 44 Fenelon Place Residential Historic District Dubuque county.Iowa prevented Graves from again rebuilding and a private company resulted, titled the Fenelon Place Elevator Company. The new design, with tine rails and a central bypass, remains in use today. In 1912, Clifton B. Trewin(10 Fenlon Place)became sole owner. In 1916 he rebuilt the head house and included a second floor room that was used for neighborhood meetings (Dubuque Weekly limes,May 26, 1893; "Fenlon Place Elevator Company History," www.dbctcom/fenplcoAustory.htmll' h �wp��wpr� f r Figures 11-12: View north along Lovers' Lane looking towards the J.

The 4th Street Elevator pagoda was removed in the mid-1920s for this reason. The following account dates to 1895: Lovers' Lane Closed: The Well Known Trysting Place Barred to the Public Lovers lane, between Fourth and Fifth streets,is no more Lovers Lane. his about as loveless a place as one would find now. The Fourth Street Elevator Company, abase,heartless corporation with soul attuned only to the jingle of the almighty dollar, has begun the dastardly work of putting up a hog-tight fence at each end and the place will now be given over to the propagation of Russian thistles and things. With Rho rderg's park closed this announcement is the nature of a swipe below the belt(Dubuque Herald, September 10, 1895). In October 1901 the City promised to build wooden stairs to link 3`a Street and the Elevator, work that would be"a great convenience to persons living in that vicinity." City Carpenter Crawford would build a set of wooden steps from 3rd Street to the Fenlon Place Elevator. Crawford had just finished building anew Madison Street stair system in the north part of the downtown. These steps would have conveniently linked the Elevator directly south to 3rd(Dubuque Herald, October 31, 1901). 2 Perhaps a spoof,but the Herald reported in mid-July 1883 that the elevator was to be re-designed on the vertical plan,with a shall cut into the bluff mth the same machinery as was then in use in the"passenger elevators now in use in the Grand Pacific hotel in Chicago" (Dubuque Herald,July 15, 1883).

The perspective of Figure 17 is taken from the terrace location to the west of the Elevator head house. The present day Raymond Place runs behind or east of the fenced walkway shown at from left of center. No houses are depicted and little tree cover on the bluff front. Note that carriages could ascend to the very bluff top on what is now the north side of Fenelon Place. The east side Hill Street between 5'r and 3`a streets developed quite late,infilling only after the mid-1890x. The reason for the delay is not determined. The street was animportant streetcar arterial beginning in the early 1870s and development along Hill had followed immediately. Numerous commercial and industrial firms dotted Hill on its west side. The list included Hughes' Shot Tower,Harkett's Nursery and a brickyard. Houses were being built further west than 3rd. Below 5th Street, rocky prominences largely precluded residential development. An early mention of Hill Street dates to 1892 when residents protested a planned sewer project. The City planned to connect the Burch Street sanitary sewer into the Hill Street storm sewer. Neighbors}tired attorney R. W. Stewart to oppose the plan. The City countered that flush tanks, set into the Burch Street sewer would keep both systems clean. The Herald offered a plausible explanation of why a unified sewer system was not being proposed and why the area remained undeveloped,noting: ...it will a had matter to get the folks around Harken's nursery to believe this. They insist titat if there is to be a sanitary sewer on Burch and Third streets it must connect with the main system without the use of the storm water sewer. The natural route would be down Hill street and Julien avenue but J. A.Rhomberg who owns the long stretch of unimproved property along these streets, and other property holders object to the heavy assessments they would have to pay to run the sewer through an almost solid bed of rock. Capt. [Alfred]Hobbs advances further reasons against this plan proposed by the city for the relief of the Burch and West Third street folks,who have been clamoring for sewer connections for several years past(Dubuque Herald, August 19, 1892). Architecturally,the key transformation of the neighborhood came at the tum-of-the century with the rebuilding of much of Fenelon Place in the Classical Revival style. This trend impacted the neighborhood as a whole, and at the very least, was represented in replacement porches. Many homes received their first substantial porches as a result ofthis building trend. While there was some belated infilling, a good number of surviving early homes, and certainly a number of frame houses,were replaced at this time.

By this time the bluff front is largely grown over with young tree growth. Many of the streets remained unpaved and largely unimproved well past the turn of the century. Final grade on 3rd Street wasn't set until 1908. That street was paved from Burch to Alpine with asphaltic concrete and given concrete curbing in 1915, at a cost of$15,527. Fenelon Place, between Raymond Place and Burch, was similarly paved in 1913 for$8,558. The full length of Cardiff received a sanitary sewer in 1914. Burch Street was given brick guttering between 5ffi and Fenelon, for $1,065 in 1914 (Dubuque Telegraph-Herald, December 28, 1913; December 27, 1914; December 26, 1915).

Still visible is the incline of Lovers' Lane and the stone retaining walls associated with it and 5'r Street. Developers and Kev Houses: Rufus Rittenhouse built up the west side of Summit Street in 1857 when he erected a block of eight houses. The houses were said to be"admirably located' and in"a good neighborhood" with a"delightful view' (Dubuque Times, August 24, 1857). A major Fenelon area developer/builder was John McCoy. He purchased the William Chamberlain lot adjoining Julius Grave's house on Fenelon and announced plans to build an"elegant and substantial brick residence" on the parcel that same season in early 1869. The Herald noted"Mr.McCoy is one of the men who largely aid in the improvement and growth of our city." When the Chamberlains offered the parcel for sale,the Herald added"This is one of the pleasantest places in the city. A large handsome well built house, ample grounds in a most elegant excellent neighborhood—there is everything to make it a desirable home (Dubuque Herald,May 16, July 1, 1869). NPS Forth 10 900 a OMB Approval No.1024-0018 (8-88) United States Department of the Interior National Park Service National Register of Historic Places Continuation Sheet Section number 8 Page 51 Fenelon Place Residential Historic District Dubuque county.Iowa House building and swapping on Fenelon Place and in the neighborhood proceeded at a feverish pace during 1869. John McCoy sold a new house on Fenelon to J.K. Duncan for $2,325. W. H. Robbins sold his Summit Street residence to Alpheus Palmer for $4,000. "Both purchases,"noted the Herald, "are considered bargains by knowing ones." The Fenelon sale by McCoy apparently involved a lot he purchased from George Gray in March 1869 for $600(Dubuque Herald, March 9,May 2, 8, 9, 1869). Early in 1874 George Burch purchased and occupied what was called the Scott Mansion on 3`d Street. The Scott family occupied Mayor Sol Turck former house on Fenelon Place,where they suffered a robbery in 1876. Mrs. Phil Ryan purchased the C. Mason property on 4th Street west of the bluff, that consisted of three houses and lots(Dubuque Herald, May 1, 3, 8, 1874). The northeast portion of Fenelon Place remained undeveloped as of 1940. It was platted and streets were laid out along with the rest of the neighborhood but the lots remained bare. Dean and Regina Cooper re-platted the area as Cooper Place with a half-boulevard focal point. The plat included Gilmore Street and Raymond Place, both of which were named after Raymond Gilmore,Dean Cooper's grandfather. Two houses were built on the west end of the plat in 1940 but other developments were delayed until the early 1950s. The Coopers built a small number of rental properties at the east end of the plat, including a double-minimal traditional plan at 416-18 Raymond Place. That double house was veneered with salvaged stone from the demolished A. A. Cooper mansion at 5"'and Bluff(the "Greystone"). They also assembled the Lustron cottage(515 Cooper Place)and adjoining cottages on Cooper Place and Raymond Place. Most of the other lots were sold off and built on individually, and examples such as 595 Cooper Place were self-built. Residents later furnished Cooper Park with play equipment. At least one cottage on Cooper Place was demolished by a developer with the intention of building a larger tenement. The Coopers donated bluff front land to the city with a promise of park development and the opening of the sidewalk to West 5"'Street, but nothing has been done along those lines (Interview with Ms. Patricia Schreiber, June 8, 2005).

Boundaty Justification: The district boundary represents a combination of topographical and physically related transportation related arterials that are contextually related to the district's historical and physical development. The whole district is physically bounded by a plateau that is prominently visible to the north east and south, but is also defined by eroded drainages (3`a, 5"and Hill streets) that became those access streets. The district includes the primarily residential building stock that comprised the several phases of development. It excludes the substantial 3`a Street Reservoir(south side of 3`a to the west of Cardiff Street)and it excludes open land to the south resultant from the demolition of a convent and the abandonment of the 3`a Street Catholic Cemetery.

C. Van Milligen, City Manager FROM: Laura Carstens, Planning Services Manager SUBJECT: Fenelon Place Residential Historic District — NRHP Nomination DATE: June 1 , 2015 Introduction The Fenelon Place Residential 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 Fenelon Place Residential 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 Bound by Hill Street, 3rd Street, 5th Street, Fenelon and the Fenelon Place Elevator, the Fenelon Place Residential Historic District contains 40 acres and 214 buildings with architectural significance as well as contributions to Dubuque's history. The core historic architecture consists of the earliest range of residential styles. The historical significance is that this was the first bluff top neighborhood to create its own elevator service which made this the city's first successful elevated neighborhood. a lam- 411 421 � f � I ��■ � b N a ioo zoo a F. As a participant in the Certified Local Government Program, the Historic Preservation Commission and City Council are required to review and comment on proposed NRHP nominations. The HPC reviewed the nomination at their May 21" public meeting. All property owners in the proposed district were provided notification of the proposed district and public meeting. Recommendation By a vote of 5 to 0, the Commission recommended the Fenelon Place Residential Historic District be listed on the NRHP based on eligibility criteria A and C. Criterion A is property that is associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of our history. 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 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.
