7. Narrative Description:
This property is located in the Langworthy Historic District. StyleNear: 1896, late Queen Anne, the
style is embodied in the overall asymmetry, and the projecting eaves and gable ends above each bay
wing. These are supported by large bracket/modillions. Wooden beltcourses separate the floors and
underscore the eaveslines. The north facing gable end is ornately pedimented and partly infilled, and
includes a window band.
Designer/Builder: Thos. 1. Carkeek, for C. H. Carkeek, West Third, (Dubuque of Todav, 1897).
Physical Description: Two-story rectangular (38x26 core) square core with hip roof, with three-sided
bays on the east and north frontages, stone foundation, wooden water table, narrow clapboard, partial
width front porch includes an oversized rounded extension and turret cap (14x16). Porch columns are
flared and based on shingled piers. A single-story bay (1 '6"x7) projects beneath the turret. A chimney
is centered between the core and front wing, which is unusual. There is a side pavilion (18x3 with
centered bay on the side wall and a centered rear wing (7x13) with flanking corner porches.
Alterations: Very well preserved. Permits note re-roofings in 1960, 1997, porch only in 1990, back
porch enclosure in 1983, front porch enclosure 1988 ($9,000).
Landscaping/Setting: This is a corner lot with high terrace. The driveway is behind the house and the
garage (weatherboard sided) is reached from 5th Street.
8. Narrative Statement of Significance:
Original Owner/Builder: Jules C. and Catherine Gregorie were the first listed residents, 109 Alpine, in
1896. He was an undertaker. Gregorie was "to build elegant residence on old homestead on Alpine,
first class style, $6,000" 1896 (Herald, May 24, 1896).
Building History: The Gregorie family was on this same ground earlier, and Charles Gregorie made
$500 in improvements to his residence on Alpine, corner of 3rd, in 1872 (Herald, Novem-ber 24, 1872).
Jules C. Gregorie is listed here 1890-1918, as is Mary Gregorie as of 1921. The 1889 birds eye view
shows a two-story square plan with hip roof and a north wing on this site. Addressed as 175 Alpine
1901-18.
Cyril Gregorie owned the parcel when it was sewered. Mary and Elste Gregorie told theAssessor 1955
that the property had always been owned by the family. Jerry Hawbaker purchased it in 1971.
