Original Owner/Builder: Mrs. Marcia Ann Gonder built a “spacious brick block, 40x50 double storefront, three stories with cellar,” for $7,000 in 1856. J. F. Rague was the architect. It was located on the th southwest corner of Locust and 5 “near the market” (Herald, March 8, 1857; Daily Republican, October 10, 1856). The building to the north, actually on the corner, was just two stories high so it is probable that this is that building. Building History: A second candidate origin was the Smith McKinley Poor Block, built on the corner of th 5 and Locust opposite the Washington House (presumably a three-story block on the northwest corner, burned 1863) in 1856. Robert McKinlay was the architect, Fanning & McEvoy were the builders. There was a first floor concert hall (100x50) and it was occupied by the Julien Theater, the Dubuque and Pacific Railroad occupied the second floor (Daily Republican, August 13, October 10, 1856; Herald, March 8, 1857). Remodeled for Masonic Hall in 1870 at a cost of $2,500-$4,000 (Herald, December 18, 1870; Times, same date). The Telegraph-Herald reported February 21, 1932 that Smith- Kinley-Poor [sic] built the old Julien Hotel that housed the masons beginning in 1871, it was described as a three story brick with hip roof. This description would likely place it on the northwest corner. Find the Washington House (burned 1863 which would have allowed for this building and the Masonic Hall after 1870*. James P. Donahue, Dr. J. H. Greene Brunskill & Metcalf owned the property when the street was sewered (no date). Assessor notes full use as apartments 1955. 1899 directory lists Dr. J.H. Guthrie.
