Redstone is a historic building located in Dubuque, Iowa, United States. This is one of three large homes that Augustine A. Cooper, who owned Cooper Wagon and Buggy Works, built for himself and his two daughters. When it was completed in 1888 it was a duplex with 27 rooms, with the family side more ornate than the tenant side. The 2½-story brick structure with red sandstone trim was designed by Thomas Carkeek in the Richardsonian Romanesque style. The elements of that style are found in the round arch window openings, the use of rough limestone for the lintels, and its heavy mass. The terracotta friezework on the cornices over the bay window, the tower, the corner gables, and the Corinthian-style capitals on the porch columns reflect Neoclassical influences. The house was individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976, and it was included as a contributing property in the Cathedral Historic District in 1985. The building has been converted into a bed and breakfast inn.

German Bank (Dubuque, Iowa)
German Bank (Dubuque, Iowa)

German Bank is a historic building located in the Lower Main Street district of Dubuque, Iowa, United States. The city's German community was its most prominent ethnic group in the mid to late 19th century. Like many other Iowa cities of that era, Dubuque had banks that were owned by, and catered to, members of their particular immigrant communities. T.H. Thedinga, the city's first German-born mayor, started this bank in 1864 to serve immigrant Germans. In 1868 it moved from its original location on Main Street and into the former Dubuque Miners' Bank building. That building was torn down in 1901 in order to construct this one. It was designed by Dubuque architect John Spencer in partnership with Chicago architect W.G. Williamson. The three-story brick building has a highly decorative main facade composed of polished pink granite on the main floor and terra cotta on the upper two floors. Decorative elements include egg-and-dart, Greek fret, a row of small lions' heads, bay windows, scroll pediments, imperial German eagles, and a bracketed cornice with dentils. The second and third floors are dominated by four fluted, banded columns with Corinthian capitals. The bank remained in operation here until 1932 when it closed in the Great Depression. Since 1946 the first floor has housed a restaurant and bar. The building was individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978. and it was included as a contributing property in the Old Main Street Historic District in 1983.
