GOVERNOR June 11,2018 The Honorable Roy D. Buol Mayor of Dubuque 50 W. 13th St Dubuque, IA 52001 City Clerk's Office Dubuque, IA RE: Sacred Heart School (Marquette Hall), 2238 Queen St Dear Mayor Buol: We are pleased to inform you that the above named property, which is located within your community, was listed in the National Register of Historic Places effective June 1, 2018. Listing in the National Register provides the following benefits: • 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 properties listed in the National Register. For further information please refer to 36 CFR 800. • Eligibility for Federal tax benefits. If a property is listed in the National Register, certain Federal tax provisions may apply. The Tax Reform Act of 1986 revises 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 rehabilitations of older commercial buildings are combined into a single 10 percent ITC for commercial or industrial buildings built before 1936. The Tax Treatment Extension Act of 1980 provides Federal tax deductions for charitable contributions for conservation purposes of partial interests in historically important land areas or structures. For further information please refer to 36 CFR 67 and 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 1934 are eligible to apply STATE HISTORICAL BUILDING • 600 E. LOCUST ST. • DES MOINES, IA 50319 • 515.281.5111 • IOWACULTURE.GOV 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 barn less the land before rehabilitation - whichever is less. 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.

The State is required to provide you with a 60-day period for the review, unless�ve inutually agree to expedite the process. I am contacting you to ask that you initiate the review process for the Historic Preseivation Commission. As an attachment to this notiFication email is a copy of the review form. The revie�v process will require the following: ♦ The Historic Preseivation Commission should review the nomination durina 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 Supeivisors) 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, infoimation about listing and the benefits of nomination is available at http://�vww.nps.gov/ru�/ (see especially the Frequently Asked Questions and Owners sections): You also need to make available copies of the noinination 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 Preseivation 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 I5, How to Apply the National Register Criteria for Evaluation). If the Commission feels that the property and the nomination meets the criteria, the Coins�iission should check the box recommendine that the property be listed. If the Commission feels that the property does not meet the criteria, then check the box reconunending 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�vho 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)::Atthe conclusion o�the meeting, tlie�oijunision sho�ld make a motion=regaxding their recommendation. The Chairman of the Commission will complete Item#1, the Coinmission's portion of the review fm-m. Be sure to fill in the date of the public meeting, sign the signature line and recoid any cominents made by commission members during the ineeting.

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�vho can complete this part of the form, you may leave Item#3 blank and I will arrange to have a SHPO staff inember complete that part of the form. ♦ After you have completed Items#1 through#2 (through#3 if a preservation professional is available), please make a copy of the completed review forcns for your File and send the original copies of the completed£orms to me. ♦ The Commission should keep the nomination and photographs. File them in your inventoty, 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 Preseivation Commission(by Commission majority) and Yhe Mayor do not consider the property eligible for National Register listing, we must halt the nomination.

Narrative Description Site Descriprion Marquette Hall (aka Sacred Heart School) is a 2-story, brick and stone school building that was placed in service in 1915. The building is located in the eastern Iowa city of Dubuque (Figure 1). Situated on the Mississippi River, Dubuque was and is defined by that major watenvay in the scale and type of commerce and industry that established itself in the city; by the ethnic mix that settled here; by the hilly topography which dictated the physical plan and development of the city; and by the materials that were used in the construction of the city's buildings.

Marquette Hall is located north of the city's historic commercial area and due west of Hamm Island— approximately one-mile west of the Mississippi River. The city's topography rises from the river valley westward to areas of relatively flat terrain; the visual chaxacter of tl�e city being largely defined by the steep roadways that lead from the river to the higl�land.Notably, Dubuque's historic funicular—the Fenelon Place OMB No.1024-0018 - NPS Form 10-900-a (8-56) United States Department of the Interior National Park Service National Register of Historic Places Continuation Sheet Section 7 Page 2 Property name Marquette Hall County and State Dubuque Countv lowa Elevatox (1893) - is claimcd to be the shortest, steepest railway in Yhe world. Marquette Hall is located on a plateau, set back from the descending elevation by several blocks, its tenain being generally flat. The school is situated in a pxedominantly residential neighborhood, with the resources of the Sacred Heart Parish (to which Marquette School was historically associated)providing the schooPs immediate backdrop.

As noted, the immediate area within which Marquette Hall is located is predominantly residential,with most houses dating to the late 19`h century. Residences in the blocks surrounding Marquette Hall vary in size and typically date to the last quarter of the 19"' century. The stylistic expressions of the residences are typical of the era of constntction, with many following the forms and details tbat define them as Late Victorian designs. Particularly prevalent are the Queen Anne along with vernacular versions of the Victorian,which although addiUve and complex in their forms, are less elaborate in design detail than examples of the Queen Anne. The residential streets, which run on the diagonal from southeast to northwest, are of typical width and moderately vegetated. Image Ol.

In many accounts the building has been described as three-story. More accurately, the building sits on a raised basement, with two stories above. The upper story of the center bay, where the auditorium is located,has an elevated height- on the exterior rising some ten-feet above the flanking bays. The building's visual character is defined by this anangement, by the overall scale,by the varied masonry employed in its construction and ornamentation, and by the architecYs deft use of Classical Revival details. Exterior As noted, form, sense of scale, masonry finishes, and use of classically inspired details define the exterior character of MaLquette Ha1L The ample fenestration(albeit altered) and the fine qualiry of design execution and workmanship elevate that visual character. The building as a unit employs a rough-faced, raised limestone foundation with a dressed stone watertable, and walls of red, hard brick laid in a common bond. A denticulated, metal cornice runs the perimeter of the roofline. The building's roof is flat. Image 02.

The central bay is recessed some six-feet fi'on�the plane of tl�e flanking bays, �vith plired banl:s of windows rising fo what reads as rivo-and-a-half stories (tlie lialf-story representing the extended ceiling lieight in the auditorium). At the first and second levels, the windows are grouped in sets of five. Historically, these windows were double-hung with a four-over-four liglit configivation(Image 12). Today, they are a tlu�ee-stacked, fixed-pane configuration in brouze-finished, metal frames (ca.2000). The windows of the upper,half-story are also grouped in sets of five, but are distinguished by a single, Roman- arched header with eyebxow trim of contrasting n�aterial. The cevter bay is fiirther characterized by a heavy, dressed stoiie horizontal band over the first floor windows, decorative brick work under the metal cornice, and the building nameplate with a raised, segmented parapet(Image 3-4). The remainder of the schooPs fapade is comprised of the flaiilcing bays—mirror images of one anotl�er. Each feahires an entrance to tbe building—marked by a classically derived surround (Image 5). Tl�at feahue utilizes square stone coluinns resting on rough-faced stone Uase that aligns with the dressed stone watertable. Thc columns visually support a simple entablahirc and pediment, whiclz is sunnounted by a stone cross. The name, Sacred Heart School, is incised in the entablature. Within Chis design element is set a smaller entrance surround; a stone, IaUel-type molding trims the door. Historically, the entrances featured paired, �vood panel doors with a largc, four-p�ne transom above (Image 12). Today, single-pane glazed doors in metal frames are used, �vith the transom blocked. The fenestration of the flaiilcing bays of tl�e fagade is minimal, simply a grouping of three wii�do�vs at each of the hvo floors. Umisual is the placement of Yhe groupinos within a recessed puiel of brick with stone bandin�. At first bhish, tl�is migllt appear to be later infill, but brick courses laid in a sa�wtooth pattern quickly indicate fl�e design as historic—a fact confirmed by historic images. Wiudows iu these bays of the fa�ade are now blocked, U�ough historically they were double-hung with a 2-over-2 light configuration.

In most locations, basement windows are fully above grade, the exception being on the north elevation where the change in topography most apparent. Today, a number of basement windows have been bricked in,particularly on the north. Those that remain open have non-historic(ca.2000) windows in place that feature a 1-over-1 light configuration. Historically, the windows were 4-over-4, double-hungs (Image 17). Marquette HalPs masonry is worthy of specific note, particularly given the lineage of the architect whose father trained and worked as a master stonemason; in this building that legacy is apparent in the masonry work. It is not suggested that Fridolin Heer, Jr. undertook the masonry work himsel£ Rather, his skill and experience influenced the work of the masons he chose to execute that aspect of his design. An examination of the masonry makes the quality of workmanship very apparent. The focused but very detailed use of brick pattem(Image 4), the regularity of Yhe size and shape of the cut stone foundation and its beaded joints, and the finely dressed stone are all indicative of exemplary crafCsmanship (Image 7). That quality of craftsmanship stands Marquette Hall apart from other buildings designed by a less skilled architect. Image 06.

Openings from the corridar to interior spaces are over-sized with transoms now blocked, though visible. The basement space is characterized by large communal spaces, inchiding a kitchen and dining room (Figure 4)with the steel column and beam structural system exposed. Historic terrazzo floors are retained in much of the basement beyond the corridors. Also,wall delineation is retained,plaster finishes are intact, and millwork remains. Further, most spaces retain historic ceiling heights. Historic accounts suggest that some of these spaces were First used as classrooms. The first floor likewise features parallel, front-to-back running corridors with classrooms running the length of the outside walls. The floor plan is then bisected by a double-wide, recreational hall—together the corridors forni an H-shape. Although the ceilings in the space have been dropped (the historic finish covered), the space has not been subdivided and, as a result, the volume remains very open.

Because Marquette Ha11 remains on its original site, the level of integ�ity as it relates to location is high. Tl�e building is sited on its ariginal site with the historic street setback intact. Some degradation of site integrity has resulted from the paving of the south and east yards. Ho�vever, given that tl�e automobile proliferated within a decade after the 1915 coustniction of'tlie scliool,parkiug was part of flie site for most of the building's history, thereby diminishing the negative impact of fl1e existing parking lot. As a result,historic integrity of flie site remains l�igli. Marquette Hall was constructed in 1915 to replace the earlier Marquette Ha1L The new school joined Sacred Heart Church, the Parish rectory, the fonner Sacred He2rt Church, and the Sisters' residence on the parcel that had been home to parish buildings siuce 1880. Although the school no longer seives tl�e Catholic community, its historic fimctional and plrysical relationship �vith the remaining parish builcli�gs (the 1888 clnirch and the 1830 rectory) are central to iutegrity of association. As a resulC,]�istoric integriry of association remains high. As a resource considered eligible for registration lmder Criterion C, integity of design, workmanship, and materials are of paramotmt concern and the integrity of each of those is very high. Exterior details and materials remain nearly fiilly intact, significant in that their retevtion underscores the building's Classical Revival style suid the intei�t and skill of the build'uig architect, Fridolin Heer Jr. Retention of the historic fom� (without additions or alterations), liistoric window openings, and classically derived decorative details result in a very high ]evel of integrity of design, workmanship, and materials on the building's exterior. Descended from stonemasous, Fridolin Heer, 7r. undouUtedly had a particular affmiry for tl�e masomy elemeuts of the bnilding—an affinity that is evident in flie combination of materials, Yhe variety and complexity of brick pattern work, and the skilled execution of the dressed stone. The only significant breach of integdty of design and materials is tl�e 1982 wholesale replacement of the windows, some oFwhicl� are now blocked. I3owever, the negative visual impact of tl�at change is mitigated by fl�e retention of origi��al openings and by the relatively sympatl�e4c character of the replacements. Ftu-tl�er, the interior of Marquette Hall retains a very l�igh level of integrity of design and materials, with no significant alterations made to the historic floor plan. Over�ll, tlie retention of the]�istoric floor plan, all of the major interior spaces (i.e. recreation hall, classrooms, and auditorium), the arrangemeut of classrooms NPS Form 10-900-a OMB No.1024-0018 � (8-86) United States Department of the Interior National Park Service National Register of Historic Places Continuation Sheet Section 7 Page 18 Property name Marquette Hall County and State Dubuque Countv lowa opening to a corridor, and oak strip tlooriug and milhvork rasult in a very higl� level of l�istoric ii�tegrity of design, workmansbip, and materials on the building's interior. That integriry is fiirther elevated by the ornate detail, elegant compone��ts, ai�d overall composition of the auditorium. As was noted xelevaut to integrity of the exterior, retention of a high level of integriry of design and materials on the interior is an important reference to the intent and skill of the building's architect. Marquctte Hall also retains a high level of integrity as it relates to feeling. Because the building retains a high level of integriry as it relates to the previous qualities, visitors from the Period of SieniBcance (including the building architect) would readily recognize the resource today and experience it very much as they wotiild have historically. FUTUR� PLANS fv� historic rehabilitation of Marquette Hall is cunently in the plannii�g stages. The plan involves adaptive re-use as moderate-income housing. Proposed as au historic tax credit project, the rehabilitation will follow the Secretary of the I�lterior's Stavdleds and Guidelincs for Rehabilitation,with tlie cvork respecting the character-defining feahires of the historic building wl�ile making tl�c necessary modifications for the adapted fimction.

NnrraYive Statement of Significance Marquette Hall (]915) is eligible for listing in tl�e National Register of Historic Places uuder Criterion C. The resource is locally significant as a very well preserved and important axample of the�vork of the Dubuque architechiral fimi Frid. Heer & Son; tl�e scliool building being representative of a specific property Yype. The Period of Significance and Significant Date for Marquette Hall is 1915, the year in which the scl�ool was placed in service. Althougli no louger owned by the churcb, as a resource historically associated with a religious iustihition, Marquette Hall meets Critexion Consideration A as a resource that derives its primary significance from its archiYectwe rather than its l�istoric association with the Archdiocese of Dubuque. The Dubuq�ie architechixal finn last known as Frid. Heer& Son was an important force in the design of the ciry's built environment for nearly 70 years. Founded by Swiss bom Fridolin J. Heer, Sr. in 1870, the Firn� undertook Yhe design of buildings of all types. Heer, Sr. arrived in DubuqLie at a time in whicl�the city was experiencing rapid growth, its architechual character in the process of being fonned. The architect quickly assumed an important role in tliat trajectory, witl� his earliest known designs daYing to 1870-1873; the 1870 house 1t 1471 Main Street (NRHP) and flie 1873 Zion Evan;elical Church remain a part of the city's historic fabric. Tl�e firm of Frid. Heer& Son developed a particular expertise in church design. In tl�e city of Dubuque, the fimi is responsible for Sacred Heart Church(1888) and tl�e First German Presbyteriui Church (1896), amona others. Their contributiovs to religious arcl�itechire extended beyond the ciry's boLmdaries�vith important designs remaining extaiit across Iowa and into Illinois and Wisconsin. Three churches—St. Boniface Gatholic Cht�rch (1882) at Westphalia, Iowa; Corpus Christi Catholic Church (1882) at Fort Dodge, Iowa; and St Francis Xavier Basilica (1889) at Dyersville,Io�va—are listed on the NaYional Register of Historic Places. The firn� was also responsible for Yhe constntction of dozens of commercial aud manufach�ring buildings, particululy significant among them bei��g the Dubuque Brewing & Malting Co. (1896) and the Security Building (1896)—both listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Six residences desi�ned by the firm are Register listed, including the David B. Henderson Hotiise (1879) and tl�e Anthony F. Heeb House (1901). A total of 15 Iowa buildings designed by Frid. Heer & Son (under various firtn names: Frid. Heer, Sr., Heer �Naescher, and Frid.Heer& Son) are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Marquette Hall represents an importaiit and exceptionally well-preserved example oFa scbool designed by Frid. Heer & Son. Despite the mimber of Heer-designed buildiugs that have baen recognized by inclusion on tl�e National Register of Historic, uoue are schools. Marquette Hall is an important representative of the firm's wark specific to that property type.

Some of the ciry's earliest residents explored the following decade,with the ratification of the Blackhawk Puxchase in 1833 opening the area to the general m2rket. Mining contiuLied in the area, at varying levels of success, through tl�e early 20`�' century? Although tlie abLutdant opport�mities that became available because of tlie lead mining served Yo entice people to tl�e cour�ty, the nahiral beauty surely played into the clioice to make Dubuque their home. Sihiated on the left of bank of the mighty Mississippi, Dubuque is nearly equidistant between St. Louis to the south and St. Paul to the north. The city was sited on an alluvial plain about folir miles long by one mile wide, witl� tUe Mississippi bluffs rising nearly 200-feet to foim a dramatic backdrop for the early ciry. By 1840 tl�e population of Dubuque stood at�ppioximately 1000. �Vith business Uooming, commercial enterprises, typically lioused in log or wood frame buildings,were growing up along M�in Street between First and Third. HoLises were likewise wood frame and lacking ornanleut—the empl�2sis in this early pexiod being on providing quick aild fimctional shelter. Only four brick buildings—one commercial building and tl�rae houses - had been built by that time.3 A charter of the city of Dubuque was adopted on March 1, 1841 providing a city governmeut comprised of a mayor and six aldermen. Tl�e ensuing yeaxs were frauglit with diffictilties, restdting in part from industrial competition posed by Dilbuque's neighbor across the Mississippi - Galena, Illinois.

Although Native Americans l�ad been mining lead su]£ide fox use ii�burial rihials during tlie Middle Woodland period (c.1-400 CE), it was the French who, ii�the late 1600s, be�an mining tlie area around Galena.4 The poplilation in Dubuque increased slowly during these early years, as did investment c�pital; together these factors slowed city improvements generally. By 1845 emigration to Dubuque shifted tl�at stagnation.

In 1849 the population stood at nearly 3000.6 With the initial challenges of cstablishing tlie ciry behind them and a firm foothold ou fuhire susYainability, Dubuque began the pl�ysical transformation to a modern city. `Vood frame buildings were replaced by brick constructions—in 1849 alone, more than 80 brick buildings were built. Likewise, streets �vere improved,the issue of fire protection and public services were addxessed, and commercial business expanded in number and variety in order to serve the growing populatiou. In 1851 construction was occurring at such a rate as to outpace the availability of both materials and conYractors.� Historical accounts note fliat in 1853, 333 new buildings were constructed.

Heer & Son entered into the architechlral desigu and coi�stniction scene in Dubuque at the time that the city's buildin�s were being trinsformed from tl�eir early�vood frame constnictions to more permai�ent masonry. Beginning in 1870 and contimiing for 70-yeaxs, Ylie firm designed buildings ranging fiom residences to churcl�es to coinmercial; the quality of design aud constnictiou placing them at tlie leading ed�e of Dubuque's archiYechual finns. Marquette Hall stands as tall anlong the firm's significant work. Marquette Hall Marquette Hall was constnicted in 1915 and dedicated on March 19, 1916. The building replaced tlie 1891 Marquette Hall, tl�e churcl�'s school building which liad been located on the same site. Following in the footsteps of his fatl�er, who in 1885-1858 designed the elaborate Romanesque Revival Sacred Heart Church, Fridolin Heer 7r. undertook the design for tl�e new school. Sacred Heart Parish was formed in 1880 from the suU-division of St. Mary's Parish. The parish quickly purchased land at tl�e corner of Windsor and Eagle Point for $3,650 and a hvo-stoiy, Urick Uuilding was constnicted at a cost of$5,500 to seive as both churcl� and school (non-extant) for the new parish; design of tl�e building was completed by Fridolin Heer, Sr. I�i 1882 the rectory (extant)was completed at a cost of �3,500 and, in the following year, the Sister of St. Francis residence(non-extant)was completed at a cost of $2,300—the architect of those parish buildings remains to be identified.�'Witb the parisU rapidly axpai�ding, the constr�iction of a new cl�urcl� building was undertaken and tl�e parish hirned again to Fridolin Heer, Sr. for its design.�� Preparation for the construction of Sacred Heart Church began in 1384 with fhe foundation laid in 1885.

Sncred Heart Cl�urcl� has been described as a"somewhat late appcarance in Dubuque of the Romanesque Revival style."It seems likely that the style was puiposely chosen to provide a sense of familiariry to the congregation, which included immigrants from a variety of Germau-speaking districts across Europe—areas in whicl�the style was�videly used. Immigration from Yhose areas during the mid-1800s spiked, witb nearly 1.5 million immigrants from ueas now known as Geiniany aniving in the Uizited States in the 1880s. Although various religions were represented in tl�at group, approximately one- third were Catholics. Typically arriving first at New York, the majority of German immigrants moved on to rural areas Gvl�ere they established Gernian-speaking coinmunities or, as was the case at Dubuque,joined existing German enclaves.15 The mosY pron�inent architectural feahires of Sacred Heart Churcb—rivo towers of unequal heigl�t—are common elements of churches designed in tbe Romanesque Revival style. Further, the use of round arches for door and windows openings,broad and smooth �vall surfaces, and shallo�v buttressing are also typical of the sryle.16 Historical recoids further descriUe Sacred Heart Clmrch as having "Roman sryle altars, a s�veet sounding oroan of twenty-five stops, and all tlie necessary furnihire for 1 Catl�olic church."The church was completed in 1885 and soon after the former church buildin�was remodeled for dedicated use as a school.�� In NovemUer of 1891 a ne�v school building�vas dedicated. Known as Marquette Hall, flie school feahired hvo classrooms, uieeting rooms, a library with a reading room, a 700-person capaciry auditorium complete �vith stage, a recreation ha11, and a bo�vling alley.�8 By 1895 tl�e Sacrcd Heart P2rish and its school had grown to a size that warranted sub-division. As a result, the Holy Ghost Parish was established to better serve Dubuque's Catholic community. Tbe new parisli was in operation the following year. Witl�in 15-years Sacred Heart Parish had once again grown beyond a manageable size and another division was completed, this time creatin� Holy Trinity Parish located in the 1700 block of Rhomberg. Contimied growth in tl�e Sacred Heart Parish restiilted in the decision to build a � new and bigger school—flie new Marquette Hall was under coi�struction by 1915.19 Tl�e ne�v Marquette Hall was largely designed in keeping�vitl�public education�l models of the Progressive Era.

As a parochial Paciliry, the architects pushed the interior plan to meet those standards and to provide space for the needs of the parish as a whole. Schools constructed during the Progressive Era (1890-1920) responded to new technological developments, focused on the efficient use of space and resources, relied on the employment of professional educators, followed comprehensive education models, and embraced the provision of specialized spaces such as recreational and auditorium facilities. Despite its status as a parochial school, Marquette Hall clearly embraced some of the tenets of the Progressive Era that abounded in public school systems across the country.

Although part of the purpose of including communal spaces in the school building was driven Uy the desire to accommodate the whole of the parish's needs, the incorporation of a large and beautifiilly outfitted auditorium is reflective of the Progressive Era philosophy. Further, the iuclusion of a large recreational l�allway is in keeping with the Progressive notion regardiug physical activity as an important element of education and overall well-being. Tl�e lrrangement of classrooms along the wide corridors assured light and ventilation in the classes as well as ample space for moving through the building and for congregating.'0 Although no communication beriveen architect and parish documents the impact of the Progressive Era principles on development of tlie school desigil, the principles are none-flie-less apparent.

It was in Cliur that he met aud, in 1860, married Lisette Breitler; the couple's son, Fridolin Joseph, Jr. was born in Chur in 1864.36 After five years working in Chur, Heer met with serious Financial difficulty, apparently related to the death of his patron, Theodosious.37 Reporteclly owing to his financial woes, Fridolin Heer emigrated to the United States in 1865, settling first in Bellevue, Illinois where lie l�ad relatives who assisted l�im in finding work; with regular incouie, Heer�vas soon able to send for l�is family. As iY tumed out, Lisette I-Ieer's health coldd not tolerate tl�e climate of tl�e southern Illinois towil, uid the family was "compelled to seek a uiore northerly climate," moving on to the city of Chicago where they lived for two years. In 1868 Heer moved l�is family to Dubuque after l�earing reports of opportunity in that growing commLmity.33 From 1873 through late 1878, Fridolin Hzer was in practice with Edward Naescher, the finn being knowi� as Heer& Naescher. The practice was located on the coiner of Iowa and 7`�' Streets. During tl�at period the firm was known for the design of a variety of buildings, with special inention made of churches and schools. Among their commissions were the Zion Evangelical Church, St. Raphael Cathedral (new tower), tbe James Levi Block, Michel's store, the Herald Building, tlie Eagle Building, an addition to the Julien House, the Kisler Building, tl�e Stolz brick bam, the DuUuque County Poorhouse, and the Town Clock building (thoug6, not the clock tower itsel fl.39 Residential designs during this period include the W J. Knight Hotiise, tlie Williain Audrew House, and the Kruse House—all of the aforementioned being located in Dubuqtiie. Beginning late in 1878, Fridolin Heer�vas once again practiciog alone.

Heer, Architect and SuperintendenY'was located in the Kiene Block at the corner of 8`�' and Iowa Streets. The directory also notes that the architect had his residence above his office. A small advertisement indicates Heer's specialization in church and school architecture 43 This is the first year in which architec,t, Martin Heer appears in the Dubuque city directory. Martin Heer is important to make particular note of, in part because he and Fridolin share a last name. Despite that commonality, the two do not appear to be related; the simple fact that Fridolin Heer was Swiss and Martin Heer emigrated from Germany establishes that reality. Confiision with Martin Heer is further created because, like Fridolin Heer, he specialized in the design of churches. In addition, both Fridolin Heer and Martin Heer partnered with Guido Beck for short periods. Attribution of building designs have sometimes been erroneously assigned to one or the other of the Heers; one example bcing Corpus Christi Church in Fort Dodge,Iowa (1882),which is wrongly attributed to Martin Heer in one source. Anot4er being St. Boniface Catholic Church in Clinton, attributed variously as Frid. Heer & Son or to Martin Heer. 43 Dubu9i�e Ciry Directory, 1834: 190,431. 44 http://iagenweb.ocglelinton/history/arch/bldrs.h[m and wiki(NR}[P 2012).

Martin Heer�vas an important architect in Dubuque and regionally from 1884 tluough 1913 when he rehirned to his l�ome country where he subsequenUy died. Martin Heer is noted as the architect of tUe DuUuque buildings Holy Ghost Churcl� and Scllool (189�, the Voelker Block(1885) at 13`" and Clay, the Luck double store (1885) and the Eichhorn Building(1889)45 A number of impoxtant Iowa cliurclies were designed by Martin Heer includina St. Boniface CaYholic Church (1908) in C1inYon. Fridolin Heer, Sr. ei�tered into partnership with Guido Beck in 1886 46 The P. Specht store on Couler Avemie is attributed to Heer& Beck.47 The partnership was very brief; by the end of 1888, Guido Beck had his own office in the Bell Block(the design of which is attributed to Martin Heer) on the NW corner of 13`�' and Clay Streets.4g The partnership of Frid. Heer & Son began 1837—perl�aps accountin� for the breviry of Heer's association witli Guido Beck. Fridoliv J. Heer Jr, (February 24, 1864—March 1, 1940), like his father, was born and traii�ed in ELuope. Boin in Chur, Switzerlar�d,he and his mothe�rjoined I�is father in Bellewe, Illinois in ca1865. In 1879—he was then just shy oF 15 years of age - he went to work for Daiilcmar Adler in Chicago. Adler was an important American architect who is known boYh for his skill and as the partner of Louis SLillivan, widely deemed the pioneer of modern American architechire. Fridolin Heer, 7r. remained in the Chicago firm imtil 1881 whei�he lefr to shidy at the Royal Architechiral School at Shittgart, Germany; he received a degree in architechire in 1836. In tl�at same year he was elected to membership in the n�tional American Institute of Architects 49 Frid. Heer& Son, as a father-son partnership,remained lctively eugaged in architectural design through the deatl� of Fridoliv Sr. in 1910. One historical account notes ti�at in the fifteen years prior to 1894, Fridolin Heer, Sr. "erected one hundred and ten churches in Iowa, Wisconsin, Illinois and Mimiesota. His skill and lbility l�ave�von l�im a �vide reputation and secured for l�im a most extensive and lucrltive patronage."50 Although that rather dramatic statement remains to be fiilly supported, from 1887 tluough 1910, the finn completed constnicfion of Sacred Heart Churcl� (1885-1885), and designed the First Gennan Presbyterian Church (1896), Irvin� School(1895), Central High School (1894), the H.L.

The properry is sited at the top of an incline which, at tl�e time of the house's construction, extencled all the way to the city's commercial area along Central Avenue (then the Plank Road). The extensive property sunrounding the house was sub-divided after King's deafll, with additional I�ousiug spriuging u�nearby.

In 1937 the fimi's office is noted at 2535 Traiit Terrace. Fridolin Heer Jr. died at his home on Traut Terrace in 1940. He was sarvived by his�vife, Marguerite; rivo sons, Fridolul A. Heer of Springfield, Illinois and Eugene F. Hear of Port Huron, Mi�mesota; l�is daugl�ter, Margarite Heer; and his sisYers, Elise and Pauline. Marguerite remained in the house o� Traut Ten�ace until ca1951; in 1952 the house is noted as being vacant. Margnerite was a longtime librarian at the Carnegie-Stout Free P�iblic LiUrary in Dubuque.5` Througl�out its long l�istory Frid. Heer & Son undertook tlie design of a multihtde of buildings that stand today as some of the most significant in DLibLique. Although varied, tl�eir designs were consistently executed in brick and/or stone. This stands to reason given the family's groLi�iding in the art of stonemasonry and in tl�e abundance of botl� materials readily available in Dubuque. Commissions of all types are characterized by the skillfiil use of masoruy and in the high degree of craftsmanship apparent in the eYecution of stylistic details. The Dubuque Cotmty CourthoLise (Figure 11) is representative of the finn's skill. In the 1893 brick aud stone buildiug, the architect brings together the stylistic elements, sense of momunentality, exuberant details, and massing that define Beaux-Arts Classicism. With very little�vall plane left unadorned, the executiou of decorative elements—undertaken in stone—rcquired tl�e�vork of a master. The completed building was the evidence of the architecYs skill. The fimi of Frid. & Son plied their skill to buildin�s tl�rou�hout tlie region. In eacl� they executed prevailin� architech�ral styles ranging from Gothic Revival to Romauesque to Beaus-Arts in brick and stone. As the previous tables indicate, tliat skill has been recognized by tl�e listing of many of the firn�'s buildio;s on the National Register of Histaric Places. 5�Shank,3l and DuG¢giie Cirn Directories,various years.

Of particular importance relevant to tl�is specific undertaking �vas Molly Naumaim and James Jacobsen's 2002 "Dubu�ue-Tl�e Key City: The Architechiral and Historical Resources of Dubuque, Iowa, 1837-1955," and the series of evaluations undertaken by Jacobsen in 2003, including the Pl�ase III survey of Downtown Dubuque, "...the Snest business street west of Cl�ica�o and North of St Louis...", the "Cathedral Historic DistricP'Phase IV District Repart, and the "7ackson Park Historic DistricY'Phase TV District Report. Altbough not specifically directed at identifying the work of firm of Frid. Heer, each of these projects included evaluation of architechiral resources completed by tl�e firm. Potenfial for Historic Archaeology The potential for historical archaeology was iiot assessed as part of the present National Register nomination. The presence of paved paxking areas suggests the likelil�ood tl�at the ground dishirbance resulting from the constniction of those elements may I�ave destroyed localized archaeological resources. Ho�vever, the paving may have been laid over ground with a minimum of eartl�movement. In that case, arcl�aeological resources may merely have been encapsulated. In the fiihire, any significant excavation and/or grading should take inYo consideration the possibility that archaeological and/or sub-grade historical resources may remain. Research Metl�odology This Nation�l Register nomination draws on the above named culhual resouroes documents, local and counry histories, the records of the Holy Spirit Parish, the Iowa State Historic Preservation Office database of Heer resources, and the online resources of the Dubuque History Center at Loras Cotlege and "Encyclopedia Dubuque." After creatiug a list of resources attributed to the Frid. Heer firn� from its 1878 esfablishmenY tluoug6 the 1939 death of Fridolm Heer., Jr., an online seareh was conducted in the effort to determine which resources remain extant. Altliou;h the stahis of many resources was deter�nined, continued work toward docLunenYing the portfolio of Fricl. Heer & Son ren�ains to be ui�dertaken.
