The Andrew–Ryan House is a historic house located in Dubuque, Iowa, United States. This is considered the best example of the Second Empire style in the city, and one of finest in the state of Iowa. The two-story brick structure was designed by Dubuque architect Fridolin J. Herr Sr. It was originally built 13 feet (4.0 m) to the north, but was moved to its present location between 1885 and 1890. The porches on the south side may have been added at that time. The house is from the high Second Empire style and features a mansard roof, arched windows, dominant chimneys, a prominent belvedere, and classical moldings on the pilasters, belt courses, and stone work. The house was individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985. It was included as a contributing property in the Jackson Park Historic District in 1986.

West Eleventh Street Historic District (Dubuque, Iowa)
West Eleventh Street Historic District (Dubuque, Iowa)

West Eleventh Street Historic District is a nationally recognized historic district located in Dubuque, Iowa, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004. At the time of its nomination it consisted of 288 resources, which included 191 contributing buildings, 32 contributing structures, 61 non-contributing buildings, two contributing sites, and one non-contributing structure. This district is a residential area on top of the bluff above the Jackson Park Historic District, which is in the river valley below. Its name comes from its historical association with the former West Eleventh Street Elevator, a funicular that was similar to the Fenelon Place Elevator to the south. For the most part the historic buildings here are single-family residences with their attendant out-buildings, although the number of out-buildings located here is relatively low. There is one apartment building and 46 duplexes. Some of the single-family houses were converted into multi-family residences, and then some of those were converted back. The various Victorian styles are found along the bluff fronts on the eastern and southern edge of the district, and vernacular structures on the northern and western sections. The Charles T. Hancock House (1890) was individually listed on the National Register. Given the steep bluffs in the district the historic structures are retaining walls and steps that replace the sidewalks.
