Description

Named the Greystone and constructed in 1888 by the noted wagon maker A.A. Cooper, this substantial residence was located on the corner of 5th and Bluff Streets in Dubuque, Iowa. The image shows a building which was three stories tall. Numerous small, pointed gables are visible on the mansard roof. A circular turret with a cone-shaped roof rises above the front entrance. The building was torn down in 1956, and a municipal parking lot was constructed in its place. Cracks in the original glass lantern slide are visible in the center of the image. The number 1265 is written on a label that has been stuck to the lower left corner of the slide.
