Boston Block
Boston Block

The Boston Block, also known as Aalfs Manufacturing Company, is a historic building located in Sioux City, Iowa, United States. The city experienced a building boom that began in the late 1880s and continued into the early 1890s. One of the major players in that building boom was the Boston Investment Company, a company on the East Coast who built four large commercial blocks in Sioux City simultaneously. Construction on the four buildings began in 1890 and they were completed the following year. In addition to the commercial blocks, they also built a steam heating plant that provided steam and light to three of the buildings as well as to neighboring buildings. The Massachusetts Block (no longer extant) on the southwest corner of Fourth and Jackson was six stories tall and had a similar facade as the Boston Block, which is five stories tall on the northeast corner of Fourth and Virginia. The Plymouth Block on the southeast corner of Fourth and Locust was also five stories tall, and the Bay State Block on Fourth Street is the shortest at four stories. Among the building's tenants was the Aalfs Manufacturing Company, which used the building as its headquarters. The architect of the four buildings is unknown, but John G. Mainland served as supervising architect. The Boston Block is a Richardsonian Romanesque structure that features rusticated stone veneer with a two-story iron and glass storefront. The original storefront was extensively altered in 1948, and it was altered again in 1984. The building was individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985, and as a contributing property in the Fourth Street Historic District in 1995.

Sioux City Fire Station Number 3
Sioux City Fire Station Number 3

The Sioux City Fire Station Number 3, also known as the Firehouse Bar, is a historic building located in Sioux City, Iowa, United States. The city's fire department began when a group of volunteers formed the Fire Protection Organization in 1869. It was formally organized in 1876. This building was completed in 1929, and replaced an older structure from around 1884. Station Number 3 served an area that mostly contained commercial buildings on the east side of downtown and a warehouse district along the Floyd River. It served as the fire department headquarters for a short time when Station Number 1 was abandoned. It long served as a training station, and a wooden training tower was located here from at least 1924 and into the 1960s. The building itself followed the "storefront" model for a fire station where the apparatus was housed on the main floor and living quaraters above. It features basket weave brick panels and concrete ornamentation for the pilaster bases and capstones, banding, and parapet. The building is similar to Station Number 7 that was built in the Leeds neighborhood in 1937. That suggests the same architect, who is unknown, but local lore suggests William L. Steele may be the architect. A design for Fire Station Number 1 from 1922 is attributed to him, although never built, and is similar to the two stations that were built. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2008, and now houses a bar.

Albertson and Company-Rocklin Manufacturing Company
Albertson and Company-Rocklin Manufacturing Company

Albertson and Company-Rocklin Manufacturing Company is a historic building located in Sioux City, Iowa, United States. Completed in 1912, the building initially housed Automatic Valve Seating Mach Co. They reorganized in 1914 and became the Sioux City Machine and Tool Company, which produced spark plugs and tire valves. The company failed four months later and the shop foreman, Frans Oscar Albertson, formed Albertson & Co. and took over the plant. During World War I they supplied 6,000 piston rings and repair tools for munition plants for Canada. Albertson never owned the building and moved his operations to another Sioux City building in 1920. The company went on to become the largest manufacturer of portable electronic and air tools in the world. They changed their name to Sioux Tools Inc., and in 1993 they became a division of Snap-On Tools. Their manufacturing facility moved to North Carolina in 2001. Between 1921 and 1942, this building had several owners and uses. I.J. Rocklin acquired it for his company in 1942. He founded his farm equipment business in 1934 and expanded during World War II manufacturing equipment for the Chrysler Corporation, International Harvester, and Allis Chalmers. They also supplied the Chicago Ordnance District and the Tank Automotive Center at the Detroit Arsenal. Their expansion at that time included building two additional structures on the same property. After the war, they no longer need all of the space and consolidated their operations into the newer buildings while letting the 1912 structure deteriorate. Rocklin developed the Rocklinizer in the 1960s. It "applies a thin coating of tungsten or titanium carbide to industrial surfaces (like the tip of a drill bit), lending an extremely durable edge. Decades later the firm developed the MoldMender, which repairs steel molds and dies." When the company decided to move from its World War II-era buildings they chose to renovate their historic building rather than tear it down and build a new structure. Renovations began in early 2017 and were completed in August 2018. The two-story brick building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2019.

Sioux City Free Public Library
Sioux City Free Public Library

The Sioux City Free Public Library is a historic building located in Sioux City, Iowa, United States. The library was located in a section of the Municipal Building, no longer extant, between 1892 and 1913. It had outgrown the space when the Library Board contacted Andrew Carnegie in 1910 about providing the funding for a new library building. Their request was initially turned down. They chose to work with New York City architect Edward L. Tilton, an architect preferred by Carnegie, in place of local architect William L. Steele who was working with the board previously. Local resident George Murphy donated the property for the new building. Meanwhile, Tilton designed the two-story brick Renaissance Revival building. On April 8, 1911, Carnegie approved the project and donated $75,000 for the building's construction. The new building was dedicated on March 6, 1913, and it is considered "an excellent early twentieth century example of the architectural development of library planning and design." It was Tilton's only building in Iowa. Plans were made to enlarge the building in 1938, but the bond issue failed. The library remained in its cramped quarters until 1989 when it moved into a former bank building downtown. Ownership of the Carnegie building was transferred to a group of investors in 1996 who transformed it into apartments. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places the following year.
