Originally built as Stampfer’s Department Store, the Cottingham & Butler Building (Security Building) has been a crown jewel of Main Street since it was built in 1896. The building’s cream-colored terra cotta and elaborate Beaux-Arts style ornament have been lovingly restored by the Butler family and has given us a glimpse of what Dubuque looking like during the Gilded Age. The building’s designer, Fridolin Heer, was one of Dubuque’s most prominent architects and also designed the Dubuque County Courthouse and the Town Clock. We’ll explore the history of this building, how it was constructed, and the recent efforts to return the building to its original glory.
The tour will begin at noon in the Cottingham & Butler Building lobby. There is a suggested $5 donation.

The Central Avenue Corridor between 14th and 22nd Streets has one of the most intact collections of historic commercial buildings in Dubuque. For the workers at the Pack and millwork factories this neighborhood was a “city within a city” with stores, churches, taverns, businesses, schools, and everything they needed within an easy walk. Now the neighborhood is attracting new attention for revitalization, including some vibrant murals by Voices Productions. We’ll peel back the layers of reuse and renovation and see remnants of this district’s colorful past, including hidden architectural details and (of course) some pubs and taverns that have long been fixtures in this neighborhood.
