MILK HOUSE
MILK HOUSE. A familiar sight at 620 South Grandview, the corner of Bryant and South Grandview, the Milkhouse prior to 1900 housed the T.J. Donahue Grocery Store. Sometime later the store was operated by George Helbing and then by the Sullivan family (Emmett, Libby, Leo, and Tom) in the late 1930s.
When the building was sold to Clem Welsh, it was called the Grandview Milkhouse. In 1972 the business was called the GRANDVIEW DAIRY. In 1977 the building was sold to Earl Tegler from Dyersville.
Milk House (No. 2) was listed in the 1972 Dubuque City Directory at 2311 Windsor.
Milk House (No. 3) was located at 1540 Central Avenue.
