ARCHITECTURE
ARCHITECTURE. Since its founding, Dubuque has seen many industries flourish and fade within the community. The rise of each new industrial base brought with it wealth and power to those in leadership positions. Those people built homes in the popular style of their day leading Dubuque to be a national showcase of different architectural styles. Among the styles of architecture displayed in Dubuque are:
AMERICAN FOURSQUARE ARCHITECTURE
RICHARDSONIAN ROMANESQUE ARCHITECTURE
