SPANISH COLONIAL REVIVAL ARCHITECTURE. One of the rarest styles of architecture found in Dubuque. Spanish Colonial was popular in the United States from 1915 through 1940. Often using low-relief carvings to highlight arches, the style typically has exterior walls finished in plaster or stucco. Tile roofs are common with various uses of wrought iron on window grilles, balconies, or fences.
