ROWHOUSES. The term "rowhouse" referred to a series of abutting houses sharing common walls, covered by a common roof, and frequently constructed in SECOND EMPIRE ARCHITECTURE. Dubuque once boasted of having more rowhouses than any other city in Iowa.
The “Bissell Block” at 1100-1150 Main Street was constructed in 1876 with an addition in 1880.
