Thank you for submitting the Biennial Report for the historic federal building formerly
known as the U.S. Post Office and Courthouse (GSA Control No. 7 -G -IA- 0495), located
in Dubuque at 350 West Sixth Street. The building appears to be in excellent condition
and continues to serve the needs of the City and community. We are pleased to see the
number of active tenants occupying space in the building and to hear that the City seeks
to increase this number in the future. Thank you for including copies of lease agreements
in the report. Congratulations on achieving a positive economic return on the property in
the midst of substantial investment by the City.
We greatly appreciate the continued support that the City provides to this historic
building. Please contact me at 402 - 661 -1928 or via electronic mail at rachel_franklin-
weekley @nps.gov if you have any questions or concerns regarding the continued use and
maintenance of the building.
Sincerely,
Rachel Franklin Weekley
Architectural Historian
