The Honorable Mayor and City Council
City of Dubuque

Dubuque, IA 52001
RE: Application of Four Mounds Foundation for funds from the Historic District Public
Improvement Program to install directional signage and a kiosk at Four Mounds
Estates Historic District, 4900 Peru Road.
Dear Mayor and City Council Members:
INTRODUCTION
The Historic Preservation Commission has reviewed the application of Four Mounds
Foundation for funds from the Historic District Public Improvement Program (HDPIP) to
install directional signage and a kiosk in the Four Mounds Estates Historic District, 4900
Peru Road. The application and staff report are attached for your information.
DISCUSSION
Commissioner Chris Olson excused herself from the table, and said that she would not
be voting on the project because she is Executive Director of Four Mounds Foundation.
Ms. Olson presented the application to the Commission. She indicated that she is
working with Silos and Smokestacks National Heritage Area on directional and
interpretative signage for the Four Mounds Estates Historic District. She reported that
the Four Mounds Foundation has received a $2,000 grant from Silos and Smokestacks,
which is the match for the HDPIP funds.
Ms. Olson explained that the HDPIP project will involve the production and installation
of 10 signs, one of which would be an informational kiosk. She noted that the other nine
signs will be directional signs directing people to the entrance of Four Mounds Estate
Historic District and to the parking and hiking areas throughout the site. She said that
the signage will use the original Four Mounds logo. She noted that the sign will be
simply composed of wood and copper. She indicated that one of the directional signs
will be placed on the Four Mounds mailbox and will be approximately two to three feet
wide in order to be seen at night.

. Four signs will direct car traffic on our grounds toward our designated parking area.
These signs are designed similarly to the trail signs, faced with hammered copper and the
four mounds insignia (mentioned above) and a "P" for parking below, with an arrow.
. A larger, accessible kiosk (2 sided upright sign) near the parking area will orient visitors
with a legended-map explaining the site, and an overview of what Four Mounds has to
offer and its connection as a part of the Silos & Smokestacks National Heritage Area. This
kiosk will use the standards developed by Silos & Smokestacks and the National Park
Service and will be manufactured professionally. This kiosk will be accessible from the
lane by a new buff colored concrete walkway.
Who undertakes each phase of this project: The entrance, trail, & parking signs will be designed
and fabricated by Four Mounds through the Y.E.S. program at our wood and metal shop job sites.
The kiosk will be designed by our interpretation committee working with a professional designer,
fabricated by a sign maker, and installed by Four Mounds staff. The concrete walkway will be
designed, formed, and finished by Four Mounds staff, and poured by a private contractor (with
assistance from Four Mounds staff.)
Project timeline: The project will take place throughout 2005, ending before winter.
Partnership: Through our Y.E.S. program, Central Alternative High School students will help
design and fabricate the entrance sign and 8 directional signs by working in our metal and wood
shops: We've received tremendous technical assistance and financial assistance from Silos &
Smokestacks and National Park Service staff for this project. The City of Dubuque, as owner of
Four Mounds, is in support of the project and our work and Laura Carstens, the City's Director of
Planning (in charge of way finding), is serving on our project committee. Mark Hantelmann of the
National Mississippi River Museum has provided volunteer assistance to help us choose the right
signage types for us, letting us learn from the museum's signage successes and challenges. This
and others' volunteer time on our committee are not included in our project budget, as their time
will be donated as an in-kind service.
Budget and Matching Funds: Our project budget is $8, I 00, and a detailed budget is attached. We
received a $2,000 grant from Silos & Smokestacks and we are asking for your support in a
matching grant to help us carry out this project. A grant of $6,000 would help us make funding
for this project nearly complete, but funding in any amount would be greatly appreciated.
We would enjoy the opportunity to give any members a tour at Four Mounds to let you know more
about our work and plans. We appreciate the opportunity to make an application to HDPIP and
thank you for your careful consideration of our request.
Sincerely,

Kiosk Design Concept & Planning
The Kiosk is in the initial design phase. Our committee, will consist of:
Christine Happ Olson, Executive Director, Four Mounds
Jay Potter, Staff for Four Mounds in charge of small copper sign fabrication
Marie Fitgerald, Manager, Four Mounds Inn & Conference Center
John Gronen, board member of Four Mounds
Chuck Huntley, board member of Four Mounds and B&B owner in Dubuque\
Laura Carstens, City of Dubuque, Director of Planning
We've also received consulting assistance from staff at the National Mississippi River
Museum and Aquarium.
The side facing the parking will be a directional sign, with a legended-map to help
visitors orient themselves to Four Mounds. The other side will describe what Four
Mounds is, and relate it back to the heritage area. It will introduce the concept of the
gentleman's farm and how Four Mounds fit into a larger national movement, and how
that movement related to Iowa's agriculture.
The sign will also talk about the resources at Four Mounds and what we do as an
organization.

SMALL SIGNAGE CONCEPTUALS
The following images are drafts for the 9 directional signs that will be handcrafted by
Four Mounds. It uses the original sketch by Lawrence Buck, the architect who designed
the Grey House. The design committee, made up of Four Mounds staff, volunteers, and
the City Planning Director, will finalize designs of these signs.

Upright wayside exhibit bases are made of the same
materials-painted aluminum-as low profile bases. They
are, however, distinctly different in form and purpose.
Designed to stand vertically so that they attract attention,
upright waysides typically provide practical information-
such as orientation of safety messages-rather than
interpretation. They are used at trailheads, boat ramps,
parking areas, campgrounds, near visitor centers, and at
similar points of assembly or access. Whereas low-profile
bases are designed to be unobtrusive and not compete with
the resource, upright exhibits are designed to be highly
visible, to attract visitors' attention to important
information.

IT BEGAN WITH A VISION...
The Four Mounds Foundation was founded as a
not for profit organization in 1987 as a means for
managing and stewarding a generous gift of
property willed to the City of Dubuque from the
estate of Elizabeth Adams Burden upon her
passing in 1982. The Burden family had a vision
for the 54 acres of scenic river view property they
called their family horne-that it might be
preserved for the public good and utilized for
educational purposes.
J
The Four Mounds Foundation, established by the
community and Burden family members, exists
to perpetuate that vision through the preservation
of the property's natural resources, the restoration
of its historically significant buildings and the
operation of its vocational at-risk youth program
at no cost to the City of Dubuque, its taxpayers or
our partners.
"You have a sense of accomplish me 111 when you lemle fit Ihe end of the day,"
FOUR MOUNDS PHILOSOPHY
Four Mounds staff and volunteers
strive to ensure that all visitors
have an educational, enlightening
and truly memorable experience
during their stay. Coming from a
chaotic work, school, or home life,
they find order and serenity. A
visit to Four Mounds is a retreat
that energizes a body and soul.
Four Mounds is a place where
visitors find a balance between the
natural order and the man-made
order, with a respect for quality of
work and doing things the right
way, the first time.
"It's easier to leam in this environment,"
PRESERVATION . EDUCATION . EMPOWERMENT
"Learning here is by doing, not out of a textbook. "
WHAT WE DO...
The Youth Empowerment Services [Y.E.S.]
program intensely engages over 100 youth each
year to accomplish challenging goals that are
exciting and educational. These projects equip
participants with a wide variety of valuable
life/work skills and experiences-challenges that
are unparalleled in the tri-state community-
uniquely offered in an inspiring setting by the Four
Mounds Foundation. Through this work, the
Foundation meticulously preserves, restores, and
reuses its historic and natural resources, including
buildings (from the Grey House to the cabin
outhouse) and the landscape (from the cultured
gardens to the Mississippi blufflands and prairie)
for low-impact use by the public.
The foundation generates income through its Inn &
Conference Center, special events and fundraisers,
and sales of woodshop items made by Y.E.S.
program participants. The income supplements fundraising efforts for grants and donations by
covering basic expenses. With a $335,000 annual budget, the Foundation operates with less than 15%
of funding applied toward administrative expenses, making efficient use of our income and donations
alike.
Four Mounds has partnered through the
years with a variety of social service
agencies, the City of Dubuque, the
Juvenile Court Services, corporations
and colleges-positively affecting the
lives of thousands of members of our
community.
The organization's preservation work
has safeguarded 100 acres of land along
and near the Mississippi and has
restored a remarkable example of a
gentleman's farm.
"Jf only we stayed another half-
hour, we could finish our work. "
PRESERVATION . EDUCATION . EMPOWERMENT
ALWAYS INSPIRING...
The historic setting of this serene gentlemen's farm takes
visitors aback. 54 varied acres of cultured landscape and
natural blufflands, along with the 40 acre Bertsch
Educational farm, provide an idyllic venue for a variety of
educational uses.

COMMUNITY ENRICHMENT
Four Mounds' positive effects on the community shine through years of service to worthwhile
organizations like Central Alternative High School, Four Oaks, Juvenile Court Services, Hillcrest
Family Services and the City's Summer Day Camp. The Foundation has preserved this unusual
property and surrounding bluffland, making it
available to the public on a daily basis through a
variety of low-impact uses. In turn, Four Mounds
receives phenomenal community support.
SUPPORT
As a non-profit organization, Four Mounds is
successful carrying out its programming only with
the generous support of our community-through
material and cash donations, grants, volunteerism,
and partnership. In addition, Four Mounds strives
to be as self-supporting as possible. The Inn & Conference Center provides a vehicle for the public
to intimately experience the serenity of Four Mounds and gives the Foundation a reliable source of
income to help pay for the costs of maintaining the buildings that make up Four Mounds. A variety
of special events benefiting the Four Mounds Foundation, like the popular Christmas Tea, are made
possible through the support of a highly valued
volunteer corps. Our woodshop provides a
vocational training venue for Y.E.S. program
participants and produces an income through sales
that in turn goes back to support the program. Four
Mounds continues to pursue creative solutions for
support of our mission.

Physical Characteristics: The Four Mounds Estate Historic District encompasses the
country estate established in 1908 by George A. and Viola Burden between Peru Road
and the Mississippi River. The extant buildings include their home, the Grey house built
in 1908, a barn, corncrib, icehouse, hog house, garage, pump house, porch ramada,
root cellar, and two servants' homes (for the gardener and the chauffeur), and the White
House built in 1924 for their son, George R. Burden and his wife, Elizabeth, upon their
marriage. George R. ("Bill") and Elizabeth Burden added a garden shed, two
playhouses (only one extant), a woodworking shop, and a rock garden to the estate.
The final building added to the estate was a cabin built in 1956 for Frindy Burden
Gronen, daughter of George R. and Elizabeth. The Four Mounds Estate derived its
name from the presence of four prehistoric burial mounds that line the bluff top just
down slope from the Grey House.
Staff Analysis: The applicants are applying for funding from the Historic District Public
Improvement Program for the purchase and installation of 9 directional signs and a 36"
X 48" kiosk sign. The directional signs will use the Four Mounds Logo and help direct
drivers to parking areas and pedestrians to walking/hiking trails. An additional sign will
mark the entrance into Four Mounds. The kiosk sign will house a map of the Four
Mound Estate showing visitors locations of the buildings, parking, trails and the mounds.
