FANNIE STOUT HOUSE
FANNIE STOUT HOUSE. Located at 1145 Locust, the home is an example of ECLECTIC ARCHITECTURE. The home was constructed for Fannie STOUT.
Fannie Stout married Fred O'Donnell, a Dubuque attorney, in 1898. As a wedding gift, Henry Stout had the magnificent mansion built at 1145 Locust Street in the style of ECLECTIC ARCHITECTURE. It is believed the faucets in one bathroom cost $16,000.
For many years after the death of Fannie, the home was used as the EGELHOF HOME FOR FUNERALS. It had a short history in the 1980s as a bed-and-breakfast. Restoration of the home began around 2008.
