Obviously, it is not in my client's best interest. Our analysis is that the building has been deteriorating for years without any action by anyone to restore the building. It is only after my client decided to purchase the property in the free enterprise system that there was other interest in the building. Unfortunately, my client went through the expense of having the building analyzed, purchased the building and will pay taxes on the building. Because of the action of certain people and organizations that could have taken action years ago, my client is suffering a daily loss. My client is open to any negotiations with any individual or any organization. However, those individuals must realize that this is a free enterprise system and my client purchased this property with the understanding that they could in fact develop the property and make a profit. My client would still deserve that profit. In order for my client to develop the property in the future with increased property taxes, they need to be able to remove and salvage the building. My client needs an immediate release of the action that has been taken by the City of Dubuque. Sincerely, ~/ " David L.

We were put on a preservation district at the November 21'" meeting with no end in sight. That was seven weeks ago and we would simply like some answers. We have a lot of time and research wrapped up in this project, which as I understand, certain parties in this fair town had ample opportunity to buy before we came along.

McCoy regardin~ the Conservation District for the former Dubuque Brewing and Malting Company at 301 and Jackson Streets. On November 21, 2005, the City Council established a Conservation District for the property. A map of the Brewery Conservation District is attached. What is a Conservation District? A Conservation District is an area of the city composed of structures that have historical or architectural value. In Conservation Districts, the Building Official cannot issue demolition permits without approval by the City Council. The City Council has created 8 other Conservation Districts to help protect 958 architecturally and historically significant structures from being demolished (see attached map). When were they formed? Initially, Conservation Districts were known as Demolition Districts. The City Council established the first Demolition Districts in 1975. The Demolition Districts were created as an interim regulation until a Historic Preservation Ordinance could be drafted. A Historic Preservation Ordinance was adopted by the City Council in 1977 and a Historic Preservation Commission (HPC) was established in 1979. When first established, the Demolition Districts had a discretionary 90-day review by the City Council for all demolition permit applications in these districts. They encompassed neighborhoods where the 1976 Architectural Survey indicated there may be a collection of historically and architecturally significant structures. Conservation Districts Page 2 The City Council amended the Demolition District regulations in 2000 to add review by the HPC. Prior to this amendment, the City Council had 90 days to review the building's architectural and historical significance, and then authorize or deny the request. When several landmark commercial structures in the Downtown were threatened with demolition in 2001, the City Council asked the HPC to assist in completely revamping the regulations for Demolition Districts. In 2001, the City Council expanded the boundaries of the Demolition Districts to include the Downtown, established economic review criteria, and made the HPC an advisory review body for demolition permit applications in the Demolition Districts. In August of 2004, the City Council renamed the Demolition Districts to Conservation Districts, and revised the economic review criteria based on recommendations of the HPC and the Community Development Advisory Commission. How is a Conservation District different from a Historic Preservation District? In Historic Preservation Districts, the City Council has given the HPC the responsibility to regulate exterior changes being made to structures located in these districts. The HPC reviews all exterior alterations that are visible from the public right-of-way and require a building permit. The HPC does not regulate interior changes. In the Conservation Districts, the HPC does not review any interior or exterior changes to buildings. The HPC does not review upgrades and investments to facilities, equipment, or infrastructure in these districts. The City Council has given the HPC the responsibility to review only demolition requests in the Conservation Districts. The HPC serves in an advisory role to the City Council, providing a recommendation for approval or denial of a demolition request. What is the process for establishing a Conservation District? Any person may make a request to the City Council for establishment, expansion or alteration of a Conservation District. A written request for the establishment, expansion or alteration of a Conservation District must be submitted to the City Clerk. At its next regular meeting following receipt of the request by the City Clerk, the City Council may approve or deny the request, set the request for consideration at a subsequent meeting, set the request for a public hearing, or refer the request to the HPC for a recommendation before voting on the request. Is there any limit on the uses in a Conservation District? No. The zoning remains the same when a property is placed in a Conservation District. In the case of the former Dubuque Brewing and Malting Company, the zoning is HI Heavy Industrial. All the principal permitted uses in the HI zoning district are still allowed for this property. Conservation Districts Page 3 Can a building be demolished if it is in a conservation district? Yes. An application for a demolition permit can be made for property in a Conservation District. The City Council has established Economic Review Criteria that the applicant must present when requesting demolition of a historically or architecturally significant structure in a Conservation District. What criteria does the HPC use for demolition requests in Conservation Districts? Section 11-4(c) states that: In determining whether a building has historic or architectural significance, the Commission and the City Council shall consider an application for a demolition permit in accordance with the Standards for Review set forth in the Secretary of the Interior's "Standards for Identification and Evaluation", and any subsequent revisions of these standards and guidelines by the Secretary of the Interior. The Commission and the City Council shall also consider a determination from the State Historical Society of Iowa as to the potential eligibility for listing of the building proposed for demolition on the National Register of Historic Places. When reviewing requests for demolition permits in the Conservation Districts, the HPC must, by City Code, make a determination as to the following: (1) Whether the building proposed for demolition has historic or architectural significance to the community; and (2) Whether denial of the proposed demolition permit would prevent the property owner from earning a reasonable economic return on the property. If the HPC finds that denial of the application would prevent the property owner from earning a reasonable economic return on the property, or that the building does not have any historical or architectural significance to the community, the Commission must, by City Code, recommend approval of the application. If the HPC finds that denial of the application would not prevent the property owner from earning a reasonable economic return on the property and that the building has historical or architectural significance to the community, the Commission must, by City Code, recommend denial of the permit application.

On November 10, 2005, John Gronen filed a formal request for the establishment of a Conservation District for the H & W property at 30th and Jackson Streets (formerly know as the Dubuque Brewing and Malting Company). Mr. Gronen, working with Dave Stuart, Jerry Enzler, Jeff Mozena, Terry Mozena, and others, has approached the lisiting agent with a purchase offer that would match the existing offer from the out -of town company, and to cover their expenses. The group has offered to help them find additional land that might be more appropriate / profitable for them. Mr. Gronen will provide a report on the group's efforts at the City Council's December 19, 2005 meeting.

Whereas, the Historic Preservation Commission has recommended amendments to Chapter 11 (Building Regulations) of the City of Dubuque Code of Ordinances regarding conservation districts; and Whereas, the City of Dubuque may establish conservation districts to allow for the City Council's review of demolition permits that might impact buildings of historic or architectural significance in these districts; and Whereas, the City Council has appointed a Historic Preservation Commission to review demolition permits in conservation districts, and provide recommendations to the City Council; and Whereas, the City Council finds that the recommended amendments to Chapter 11 are consistent with the goals and objectives of the City's Comprehensive Plan and the purpose and intent of the City's Code of Ordinances; and Whereas, the subject property has been determined eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DUBUQUE, IOWA: Section 1. Section 11-3 of the City of Dubuque Code of Ordinances is hereby amended by adding the following new paragraph (b): Sec. 11-3. Permit Issuance Prohibited: (a) The building official of the city is hereby prohibited from issuing a building permit for real property for which action has been initiated for a change in the zoning classification of the property or a text amendment of the zoning or subdivision ordinances. The prohibition shall be from the date of the filing of the application with the planning services department until the date of final action of the city council upon such zoning reclassification or text amendment, including publication as provided by law where the reclassification or amendment is adopted by city council. (b) The building official of the city is hereby prohibited from issuing a building and/or demolition permit for real property for which action has been initiated for establishment, expansion or alteration of the property as a conservation district. The prohibition shall be from the date of the filing of the application with the city clerk until the date of final action of the city council upon said application, including publication as provided by law where the establishment, expansion or alteration of such district is adopted by city council. Section 2. Section 11-4(a) is herby amended by adding the following new paragraph (9): (9) Brewery Neighborhood: Lot 2-7 of Mineral Lot 322, Lot 1-1- 3- 8 of Mineral Lot 322, and Lot 2-1 of Liebe's Subdivision No. 3 in the City of Dubuque, Iowa. Section 3. This ordinance shall take effect immediately upon publication, as provided by law. Passed, approved and adopted this 21st day of November 2005. Terrance M. Duggan, Mayor Jeanne F. Schneider, City Clerk MEMORANDUM December 2, 2005 TO: Historic Preservation Commission FROM: Laura Carstens, Planning Services Manager -g RE: Update on Brewery Neighborhood Conservation District Introduction This memorandum provides an update on the Brewery Neighborhood Conservation District. The City Council approved a revised boundary map and revised ordinance for establishment of the Brewery Neighborhood Conservation District on November 21, 2005. The HPC's letter of support is attached, as is additional correspondence that was provided to the City Council. Discussion Dubuque Stamp, 32nd and Jackson Streets, has a purchase agreement for one of the three developed lots included in John Gronen's original request, as well as a 100 -foot wide vacant lot that fronts on Jackson Street. The developed lot is located at the east end of 30th Street, near the North End Neighborhood Trail. On this lot is a brick warehouse building that was constructed in 1893 with the other large brewery buildings along 30th and Jackson Streets. The attached map shows the four parcels that Dubuque Stamp intends to purchase, and the revised Conservation District boundary that excludes both the brick warehouse building at the east end of 30th Street and the 100 -foot wide vacant lot that fronts on Jackson Street. The attached ordinance reflects the new boundary. The attached ordinance also incudes a City Code amendment recommended by Corporation Counsel Barry Lindahl to prohibit the issuance of a building or demolition permit when an application for a conservation district has been filed with the City Clerk. This is a significant amendment, because it provides the effect of a permit moratorium, and should avoid the "11th hour" situation the City Council faced with the Brewery Neighborhood Conservation District. The Brewery Neighborhood Conservation District is in effect for 30 days, to allow time for a redevelopment altemative to demolition to be presented. We expect the Brewery Neighborhood Conservation District will be on the December 19, 2005 City Council agenda for reconsideration. In response to the HPC's inquiry, Corporation Counsel Barry Lindahl has determined that there is no size limit for establishing a Conservation District.

In Historic Preservation Districts, the City Council has given the Historic Preservation Commission (HPC) the responsibility to regulate exterior changes made to structures located in these districts. The HPC reviews all exterior alterations that are visible from the public right-of-way and require a building permit. The HPC does not regulate interior changes. In the Conservation Districts, the HPC does not review any interior or exterior changes to buildings.

The City Council has given the HPC the responsibility to review only demolition requests in the Conservation Districts. The HPC serves in an advisory role to the City Council, providing a recommendation for approval or denial of a demolition request. A Conservation District does not prohibit an individual from continuing the uses already existing on the property or allowed by the zoning district. A property owner can continue to maintain and make improvements to their building. The Conservation District has no affect on the use of your property unless you apply for a demolition permit. Any person may make a request to the City Council for establishment, expansion or alteration of a Conservation District. A written request for the establishment, expansion or alteration of a Conservation District must be submitted to the City Clerk. At its next regular meeting following receipt of the request by the City Clerk, the City Council may approve or deny the request, set the request for consideration at a subsequent meeting, set the request for a public hearing, or refer the request to the Historic Preservation Commission for a recommendation before voting on the request.

Background Developer John Gronen has filed a formal request for the establishment of a Conservation District for the H & W property at 30th and Jackson Streets (formerly know as the Dubuque Brewing and Malting Company). A map of Mr. Gronen's request is enclosed. City staff has learned that Dubuque Stamp at 32nd and Jackson Streets has a purchase agreement for one of the three developed Tots included in Mr. Gronen's request, and a 100 -foot wide vacant lot that fronts on Jackson Street. Dubuque Stamp also plans to buy two other lots. The developed lot is located at the east end of 30th Street, near the North End Neighborhood Trail. On this lot is a brick warehouse building that was constructed in 1893 with the other large brewery buildings along 30th and Jackson Streets. The 1976 Architectural Survey of Dubuque identified the two large brewery buildings along 30th and Jackson Streets as being of city, state, or national significance. These are structures felt to meet one or more of the criteria for listing on the National Register of Historic Places. The brick warehouse building at the east end of 30th Street is of neighborhood significance. These are structures that are of significance when found in groups or are contributors to the significance of districts that meet one or more of the criteria for listing on the National Register. Revised Boundary -- Brewery Neighborhood Conservation District Page 2 Discussion The attached map shows the four parcels that Dubuque Stamp intends to purchase, and the revised Conservation District boundary that excludes both the brick warehouse building at the east end of 30th Street and the 100 -foot wide vacant lot that fronts on Jackson Street.

Schneider, City Clerk THE CITY Du E DUBMEMORANDUM D' November 21, 2005 TO: Michael Van Milligen, City Manager FROM: Laura Carstens, Planning Services Manager RE: Conservation Districts Introduction On the November 21, 2005 City Council agenda is a request to establish a Conservation District for the H & W property at 30th and Jackson Streets (formerly know as the Dubuque Brewing and Malting Company). The proposed Brewery Neighborhood Conservation District is the first such district to be requested since the City Council adopted new regulations for the establishment of these districts. This memorandum provides information about Conservation Districts for City Council consideration. What is a Conservation District? A Conservation District is an area of the city composed of structures that have historical or architectural value. In conservation districts, the Building Official cannot issue demolition permits without approval by the City Council. The City Council has created 8 Conservation Districts to help protect 958 architecturally and historically significant structures from being demolished (see attached map). When were they formed? Initially, Conservation Districts were known as Demolition Districts. The City Council established the first Demolition Districts in 1975. The Demolition Districts were created as an interim regulation until a Historic Preservation Ordinance could be drafted. A Historic Preservation Ordinance was adopted by the City Council in 1977 and a Historic Preservation Commission (HPC) was established in 1979.

How is a Conservation District different from a Historic Preservation District? In Historic Preservation Districts, the City Council has given the HPC the responsibility to regulate exterior changes being made to structures located in these districts. The HPC reviews all exterior alterations that are visible from the public right-of-way and require a building permit. The HPC does not regulate interior changes. In the Conservation Districts, the HPC does not review any interior or exterior changes to buildings.

The City Council has given the HPC the responsibility to review only demolition requests in the Conservation Districts. The HPC serves in an advisory role to the City Council, providing a recommendation for approval or denial of a demolition request. What criteria does the HPC use for demolition requests in Conservation Districts? Section 11-4(c) states that: In determining whether a building has historic or architectural significance, the Commission and the City Council shall consider an application for a demolition permit in accordance with the Standards for Review set forth in the Secretary of the Interior's "Standards for Identification and Evaluation", and any subsequent revisions of these standards and guidelines by the Secretary of the Interior. The Commission and the City Council shall also consider a determination from the State Historical Society of Iowa as to the potential eligibility for listing of the building proposed for demolition on the National Register of Historic Places. When reviewing requests for demolition permits in the Conservation Districts, the HPC must, by City Code, make a determination as to the following: - Conservation Districts Page 3 (1) Whether the building proposed for demolition has historic or architectural significance to the community; and (2) Whether denial of the proposed demolition permit would prevent the property owner from earning a reasonable economic return on the property. If the HPC finds that denial of the application would prevent the property owner from earning a reasonable economic return on the property, or that the building does not have any historical or architectural significance to the community, the Commission must, by City Code, recommend approval of the application. If the HPC finds that denial of the application would not prevent the property owner from earning a reasonable economic return on the property and that the building has historical or architectural significance to the community, the Commission must, by City Code, recommend denial of the permit application. What is the process for establishing a Conservation District? Any person may make a request to the City Council for establishment, expansion or alteration of a Conservation District. A written request for the establishment, expansion or alteration of a Conservation District must be submitted to the City Clerk. At its next regular meeting following receipt of the request by the City Clerk, the City Council may approve or deny the request, set the request for consideration at a subsequent meeting, set the request for a public hearing, or refer the request to the HPC for a recommendation before voting on the request. Is there any limit on the size of a Conservation District? Corporation Counsel Barry Lindahl has determined that Section 11-2 has no definition of "district', so there are no regulations limiting the size of a Conservation District. The question has arisen whether the proposed Brewery Neighborhood Conservation District is a "spot zone". Corporation Counsel Barry Lindahl has determined that the proposal may be a "spot" district, but arguably there is a rational basis for treating it differently from surrounding properties so he does not think it is improper.

This company is one of the two property owners whose property is within proposed Brewery Neighborhood Conservation District, which will be considered at the November 21, 2005 City Council meeting. Mr. Tobin was out-of-state at the time of his call, but was attempting to return intime for the City Council meeting tonight. Mr. Tobin asked that I pass on his comments to you for the City Council's consideration at this meeting. Mr. Tobin requested that the City Council postpone action on Mr. Gronen's request. Barring that, he asked that this action item be moved to the end of the meeting agenda to allow him as much time as possible to get to the meeting. Mr. Tobin felt that the notice that Dubuque Storage & Transfer Co. received about the proposed Brewery Neighborhood Conservation District was inadequate. City staff delivered written notice to the offices of Dubuque Storage & Transfer Co. on November 18, 2005 at approximately 4:00 p.m. The offices were closed at 2:00 p.m. on Friday, so company representatives did not know of the agenda item until today. Corporation Counsel Barry Lindahl has advised that the notification requirements for the conservation district ordinance were met, and that Mr. Tobin's comments can be transmitted to the City Council.

Our town does not have a more historically significant building in our North End. Even though it has been neglected recently, just putting a roof on it could help stop more damage. Please if at all in your power to help stop the demolition of this wonderful old building, do so by putting it into a safe haven. By declaring it a Conservation District, more time can be allowed to figure out a good adaption for the building. I don't know right off hand, but I think it may well be one of the few Breweries still left standing beside the Star Brewery. Wouldn't it be great for a part of it to be made into a sort of "Dubuque Brewery History Museum"? I bet old memorabilia would come from everywhere to fill it! The new bike/hiking trail is just out its back door. Many more adaptive ideas could surface with more time. Give me enough time to retire and I'll start a little Antique/Coffee Shop/Bookstore in it. Of course if I had that kind of money I would have bought it in the first place! Why do we have to be so reactive, when a more proactive style makes so much more sense? Just as we are humane to our citizens, we need to make humane decisions with historical buildings. We have lost so much of our Dubuque history that I see in the old pictures. This is one building that a picture could not even begin to touch in its awesomeness. Be an awesome City Council at Monday night's meeting & talk about saving what could be a revitalized heart for our Northend! I know I'm coming in late to make a prayer for this old building. But hope that it can count for something!

"In accordance with 36 CFR 60.17 the Dubuque Brewing and Malting Company. Buildings have been removed: from the National Register of Historic Places." Also in that letter it states, "You should note, however, that pursuant to 36 CFR 63.4, properties removed from the National Register for procedural deficiencies in the nomination process are automatically determined eligible for the National Register. Consequently, the Dubuque Brewing and Malting Company are determined eligible for the National Register of Historic Places, and are still subject to the provisions of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 36 CFR 60.6 (s) If the owner of private property (or the, majority of such owners for a district or a single property with multiple owners) has objected to the nomination by notarized statement prior to listing, the Keeper shall review the nomination and make a determination of eligibility within 45 days of receipt, unless an appeal is filed. The Keeper shall list such properties determined eligible in the National Register upon receipt of notarized statements from the.owner(s) of private property that the owner(s) no longer object to listing. The notarized statements should be sent to me and I will forward to the Keeper.

IALTERiD D DA!': • ...taalit • ..-101IXPQSED , , DESCRIBE THE PRESENT AND ORIGINAL (IF KNOWN) PHYSICAL APPEARANCE The original, ten -building brewery complex consisted of 224,500 square feet of floor space. It was.built.around an open court (95' x'100') and covered nearly three acres. The foundation, twelve feet deep and twelve feet wide at the bottom,is stake of large overlapping stones an a bed of concrete to prevent settling. tons of iron and steel were used in the buildings; the floors are steel, supported by heavy iron piers. No wood was used in the structural units of the buildings. ti Of the original complex, five. structures are included in this nomination, and are the only ones which: retain their original character: 1. Office building, corner of 330thand .Jackson Street. A seven -stony structure surmounted by twotowers of 30 feet. each. It has galvanized iron cornices and a slate roof. Fr'on'tage is 62 feet, depth 40 feet. 2. Machinery house, facing Jackson Street. A. 4's -story structure, 50E' x 50'. It is connected to the office building by a stone, arched, entryway into the court- yard. 3. Brew House, abuts Machinery House- Five stories high, with floors of rock asphalt laid on steel beams. Has an open center court with skylight. Dimension, are 54' x 521. 4. Mill House, abuts Brew House. Dimensions 25' x 52'. Has a brick chimney on an octagonal base, originally 175' high but now considerably shorter. S. Stock House or Cooler, attached to rear of office buildin*. Has five stories and basement. Its open interior features brick arches on iron piers. The main facade of this brewing complex is suggestive of the Richardsonian style. The first floor elevation is faced with cut stone, while brick is used for the remainder. The RoMane�arch is everywhere apparent. It is featured in wide, heavy entrances. and wi on the first floor, and again inbrick arcades of varying heights above,.elsphasixed by outlining the arch shape in light brick. Straig topped windows are also: used,separated vertically from one another by decorative brick panels. Wide, segmental arches on buildings 2, 3, and 4 contribute to•the variety of window shapes. Extensive corbelling below the cornice line and, many pinnacles atop towers, turrets (both round and square), provide additional decorative detail. Building #1 fea- tures corner pavilions ending in square, mansard -roofed toners with pixfnacled dor- mers. The tower of building *4 has a.pyramid roof and very small, circular dormers. Each of these towers is set off from its base by a wide, rounded arch of stone which marks the topof a pavilion arcade., Behind this elaborate front,. the brewery buildings becons largely utilitarian in design. A few pnnac1ed. corner. pilasters, along with corbelling, wall pilasters, .and the scattered use of the three window shapes (round- and segelltnal-arched, and rectangular) on building 15. The interiors of buildings 1-S exhibit few clues as -to their original function. They have been used for general storage for many years, with a concomitant loss of the machi;neny oncefound in them. Generally speaking, only the exteriors of these buildings remain_ to illustrate the original design and character of the .brewing complex.

Historically, the Dubuque Brewing and Malting buildtws- represent a once -major industry inTubuque,'the years of 1:ts'operation (1$95A 1916) seeing no fewer than nine such brewries at work at the same time. The Dubuque Brewingand Malting CPmpany was incorporated 14 April, 189a, with a capital of $150,000, later increased to $250,000. The new company was a merger of four other Dubuque breweries -- the Heeb, Iowa, Western, and Nor- thern -- and contributed to the city's reputation as the major brewing center of the upper Mississippi Valley. Louis Lehle, a Chicago architect and brewery designer, drew the plans, and Fridolin herr, Sr., a prominent Dubuque architect, engineer and sculptor, was engaged to superintend all phases of the brewery's construction. The entire complex was completed by 1895, the cost of building and equipment $500,000. The enactment of prohibition in Iowa forced the closing of the brewery in 1916. The capacious buildings were acquired a few years later by the Corn Belt Meat Packing Company, followed by H &WM/nor Express in. 1930. In 1934, A.F. Heeb, one of the partners in the original Dubuque Brewing and Malting operation, attempted to revive the business, but by 1940 H 4 W had= moved back to the plant. It has since been used for general storage. ' 03/05/2004 13:45 5152920582 SHSI . • • • . 19. • • • MAJOR BIBLIOGRAPHICAL REFERENMS The Dubuque Herald, 30 Oct. 1895. Oldt and Q4g17.

I have included a map of the Conservation District. These buildings are among the most significant structures on the north end of Dubuque. They are worthy of the City Council's review and protection. These historic buildings are in danger of demolition. I ask that the City Council act as quickly as possible to protect these buildings. Thank you for your consideration.

A copy of Mr. Gronen's request is enclosed. Mr. Gronen also is requesting a letter of support from the Historic Preservation Commission for establishment of the Brewery Neighborhood Conservation District. This request will be considered at the Commission's November 17 meeting. Background The Planning Services Department has been notified by Jerry Enzler, Executive Director of the Dubuque County Historical Society, about the potential demolition of the H & W Building. Mr. Enzler reported that the rear portion of the building may be tom down this month. The Dubuque Brewing and Malting Company buildings were listed on the National Register of Historic Places at one time, but were removed at the request of one of the property owners.

T Michael C. Van illigen MCVM/jh cc: Barry Lindahl, Corporation Counsel Cindy Steinhauser, Assistant City Manager Laura Carstens, Planning Services Manager Richardsonian Romanesque Style 0880-19001: The subtypes of this style are based not upon basic form, but rather on roof type. Three components identify the style. These are the use of round -topped arches, rough faced stonework and the presence of round conical capped towers (75% of properties according to McAlester). Dark red brick with thin colored mortar lines and rubbed brick arches, as well as the application of decorative terra cotta panel inserts, are also associated with this style. While the brickwork seeks to minimize surface texturing, stone walls seek a varied and rusticated visual surface effect but avoided applied ornament. This style being ill suited to smaller residences and restricted to brick ones, there is but one fairly pure example to be found in Dubuque although numerous Queen Anne residential designs betray a Romanesque influence. Two-thirds of all residential examples employ a hipped roof with cross gable form. It was this style that coincided with another intense church building phase and numerous religious properties represent its influence and this is strongly reflected in Dubuque's architecture of this period. Unlike other Victorian era styles, this one, while still evocative of the Romanesque era, was uniquely American in its inception, being largely credited to Boston Architect Henry H. Richardson. I[is work directly influenced the forthcoming Sullivanesquc and Prairie styles, also .American generated styles and a conscious result of an architectural search for an American derived style that did not come from European sources (Blumenson, p. 47). Figure 90. 1 ICPS Locust (photo, J. Jacnhcen, 200)) The Frank D. Stout House, 1890-91 (Figure 90) (Jackson Park District, NRNP) is Dubuque's only pure Romanesque residential design. The rectangular plan incorporates a hexagonal corner tower and the broad low stone upper level arch is particularly impressive. Et is constructed of red sandstone. There is a matching carriage house an the property (Sommer, p. 124; Gebhard, p. 84). Figure 91: 509 l.oras (photo, J. Jacobsen, 2003) A second smaller residential example is pictured in Figure 91. The Michael Hardie House pre -dates 1889 and is located in the West 116 Street District. This is a very early example, being combined with the Queen Anne. The rusticated stone lintels in the triple attic window set and the rounded stone straight lintels him at the emerging style. The Thomas Connolly House, 1637 Iowa, 1891, was another example but a fire removed its rooftop. The core house remains however (Jackson Park Historic District, non- contributing building). Isolated heavy Romanesque style rusticated stone entry arches appear on a number of duplexes, that at 2070-72 Jackson Street (1891-1909) being an excellent example. Historian Lawrence Sommer considers Sacred Heart Catholic Church, 635 East 22' Street, 1885-87, to be the city's earliest Romanesque edifice. It is principally a Gothic Revival design and is treated as such in this document. Holy Trinity Catholic Church, Rhomberg Avenue, 1910, features a number of Romanesque arches in its design (Sommer, pp. 113, 115-16). With regard to commercial buildings, the best examples are the Grand Opera House, 135 8t1 Street, 1889 (NRNP, national level of significance), designed by Chicago architect Willoughby J. Edbrooke, and the Bishop's Block, 90 Main, 1890 (NRNP). The former is a faithful example of the style while the latter features a distinctive corner round tower. Saint Luke's United Methodist Church and Rectory, 1199 Main, 1896-97 (NRNP), is the pre-eminent church example ofthc style with its rusticated Bedford Indiana limestone and massive square corner tower. Two religious institutional buildings arc significant examples, these being the Villa Raphael Motherhouse, 1235 Mt. Loretta, 1909, and the Mount Carmel Motherhouse. south end Grandview Avenue, 1893-94. The best industrial example of the style is the massive Dubuque Brewing and Malting Company, 3000 Jackson Street, 1894-95). It is arguably one of the best Romanesque examples in the state. The Dubuque Star Brewery Company, East 4'" Street, 1898 (SHPO Determination of Eligibility) is a later, smaller scale example. Sullivanesque seven -story Bank and Insurance Building (1894) was a landmark terra. cotta design but it has lost its distinctive attic level exterior and cornice, rendering it ineligible for National Register listing. The other Sullivanesque design, the Security Building. Collectively these largest buildings represented continued Dubuque expansion despite a national depression during the early 1890s. In terms of design, this style in particular, marks a departure from employing Local arch sects, securing Chicago designers instead (Sommer, pp. 120- 122• Gebhard, 88 .

Dubuque, IA 52003 January 30, 2006 Members of the Dubuque City Council c/o City Hall 13th and Central Avenue Dubuque, IA 52001 Dear Ladies & Gentlemen: Phone: (563) 582-2926 Fax (563) 582-2998 office@cwcmlaw. com r -- m "ii I apologize for not meeting with you at the Council Meeting with 3-M Development, Ltd., however; l did indicate to them that I thought nothing would be accomplished and there would be another delay. I now think since this has been going on for months without one concrete fact presented by the objectors. It is time for the Council to request figures. For instances, it is our understanding that the objectors have raised money. At the time of writing this letter, no one from the objectors contacted my clients for possible purchase. I think they are very well aware that in essence this is an eminent domain by delay. I would think the council would want to know who the potential buyer would be. The historical society said they are not. What is the estimate by an engineer or architect for just stabilizing the building, what is in store for the development of the building and what are the facts and figures as to the actual cost of the development of the building, what grants and from what agencies are they going to look to receive grants, how much money or tax credits or tax deferral are they going to ask from the City of Dubuque? I have not seen one question asked at the last meeting concerning this. Also, how much time are you going to allow? This building has been sitting empty and has been deteriorating for years. My father-in-law owned''a house across the street which we just sold a few years ago. At that time, there had been no attempt to have any improvement done to the building. It is my understanding from the realtor that when the building was listed and even when it got to this price, it was offered to different organizations and the City and it was not in any historical district at that time. I would think that even if the building is stabilized by another owner it will remain empty and further deteriorate. All this has now changed since someone from the free enterprise system purchased the building with the intent to make a profit. It would appear that there is no consideration being made to the loss of money on a daily basis to my clients. *I have not talked to one citizen of the City of Dubuque that is in favor of this delay. In fact, they say the City of Dubuque should be encouraging development in the City under the free enterprise system. LAW OFFICES OF CLEMENS, WALTERS, CONLON & MEYER, P.C.

Box 331 Dubuque, IA 52001 Re: H & W Building, 3040 EIm Street Dear Mr. McCoy, 61 April 4, 2006 On April 3, 2006 the Planning Services Department received an incomplete Demolition Permit application for the building at 3040 Elm Street. In order to apply for demolition review, items one through sixteen of the checklist of supporting documentation must be addressed. Specifically, the following items are insufficient or missing from the application: • The application does not contain an estimate of the proposed demolition (Item 1). • The report by Ronald A. Balmer makes no mention of the structural soundness and suitability for rehabilitation of the building (Item 2). • It is unclear whether the estimated market value of the property in its current condition is $75,000.00 or a number between $75,000.00 and $300,000.00. Item 3 should specify the estimated market value of the property in its current condition. Item 3 also neglects to address the estimated market value after the proposed demolition and after renovation of the existing property for continued use. • The application does not contain supporting documentation showing the amount paid for the property. It also does not indicate whether there were any terms of financing between the buyer and seller. All other requirements of item 5 are met by the submitted Warranty Deed. • Documentation supporting the annual gross income from the property for the previous two (2) years must be submitted. Item 6 must be addressed. Page 2 • Items 7, 8, 12, 14, 15 and 16 are missing from the application. Enclosed is your original application and another checklist of supporting documentation. All items must be addressed to make a complete application. An incomplete application cannot be placed on the Historic Preservation Commission agenda for the demolition review process. Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the Planning Services Department at 589-4210.

She was asking me about the Ii&W Building and I gave her an update. I have been thinking that with the way it stands, it looks like we are headed toward an economic non -viability argument. The think is that I don't want us or city council to be caught off guard when it happens. I think we need to have an educational session, looking at precedents for economic hardship issues. I am concerned that they are going to say they need to make a profit on this building, or even that they need to break even. There are so many misnomers about this issue, I think it makes sense that we be well informed before it happens. Is this your read? Can we discuss this issue at the next meeting? Let me know what you think.
