FRANK CARBERRY-385 BURCH
CARBERRY HOUSE. Featured in the 25th Annual Dubuque Old House Enthusiasts Tour, the home was constructed in 1881 and originally owned by Frank Carberry, editor of the Commercial Times. Carberry once rented all the upstairs bedrooms to mail carriers. The doors and transoms to each room could be locked from inside the room to protect the mail.
Captain Samuel Edwards lived in the home until his death in 1922. Edwards had great faith in river transportation and was a leader in the development of the ICE HARBOR.
