Above:
Various street scenes in Dubuque. At the top, we are looking down a hill
which ends at the freight yards bordering the river. Just below that are a
couple of scenes of some of the residential areas adjacent to the hills
and bluffs, and bordering the downtown. Just above is a view of downtown.
Left:
Looking down the street towards the amazing courthouse.

The courthouse, in a three quarter
view, showing the stonework, brickwork, and statuary.
|
|
A face on view of the classic architecture
of Dubuque's courthouse.
|
|
With the trees of fall in the foreground,
the courthouse looks a bit like a traditional college building.
|
|
Friezes, and statues fill the top of
the building. There are the usual statues depicting justice, and law, along
with others that would have been recognized by literate, cultured people for
generations.
|
|
One of many hundred year old plus buildings,
which seem to be everywhere in this city.
|
|
A look up any street, which goes to
the west, ends at the line of bluffs which cradle the city.
|
|
The Canfield Hotel sits near the bottom
of the hill, the river is only a block or two away, and the hills visible
in the distance are across the river, in another state.
|
|
More views of the hills backing the
city, and of the streets and neighborhoods which fit snug against them.

Above:
A look across the bridge back.
Left:
One last look at the streets going west, towards the bluffs. Thirty miles
west of here, the land levels out into endless fields and farmlands, and begins
to look like most people's view of Iowa.
