From introduction: "This is Phase I 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. Phase II covered the Rhomberg/Eagle Point neighborhood, which is immediately to the east of the Phase I survey area. The Phase I survey area comprises a 31-block primarily residential that occupies the floor of the Couler Valley. Bluff lines rise some 150-200 feet along the east and west sides of the valley. To the west, the bluff line is broken up by the presence of two major drainages, these being marked by Kaufmann Avenue, at the west end of East 22nd Street, and Diagonal Street, which centers between the west ends of East 26th and East 25th streets. The survey area is primarily residential in nature, but it also contains examples of commercial, industrial, educational, and religious properties." 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.
