From introduction: "This is Phase II of an intensive architectural and historical survey of the entire City of Dubuque. Phase I was a two-part project: the first being the identification and development of historic contexts and property types for the city; while the second was conducting an intensive level survey and evaluation of properties located in the Washington/Jackson/Elm Street area north of the central business district. Phase I was completed in 2000. The current survey was conducted in a geographic area northeast of the original plat of the City of Dubuque. It contains two distinct areas: the Rhomberg/Eagle Point neighborhood which consists primarily of three streets (Garfield, Rhomberg and Lincoln) running NE/SW from Kniest to Eagle Point; and, the Linwood district, which consists of streets located on the hillside between 22nd Street and Linwood Cemetery, from Queen to Jefferson Middle School. Originally Lake Peosta separated the neighborhood from the Mississippi River to the south except at the far northeast end. The survey area is primarily residential in nature, but it also contains examples of commercial, industrial, educational, and religious properties. Overall, the Phase II survey area can best be described as a working class neighborhood with corner stores and neighborhood schools and churches. In 1921 Dubuque changed many street names, and others were changed prior to that. The following changes were made in the Phase II survey area." Funding was provided in part by a Historic Preservation Fund grant to City of Dubuque administered by the Iowa State Historic Preservation Office and the State, Tribal, and Local Plans and Grants Division, National Park Service, U.S. Department of the Interior. Dubuque, Iowa is a Certified Local Government.
