Among the styles of architecture displayed in Dubuque are STONE ARCHITECTURE, ARTS AND CRAFTS ARCHITECTURE, SPANISH COLONIAL REVIVAL ARCHITECTURE, GREEK REVIVAL ARCHITECTURE, EGYPTIAN REVIVAL ARCHITECTURE, GOTHIC REVIVAL ARCHITECTURE, ITALIAN VILLA ARCHITECTURE, ROMANESQUE ARCHITECTURE, OCTAGON STYLE ARCHITECTURE, SECOND EMPIRE ARCHITECTURE, STICK ARCHITECTURE, QUEEN ANNE ARCHITECTURE, SULLIVANESQUE ARCHITECTURE, ECLECTIC ARCHITECTURE, STEAMBOAT ARCHITECTURE, BUNGALOW ARCHITECTURE, PRAIRIE ARCHITECTURE, and INTERNATIONAL ARCHITECTURE.
