Commercial & Industrial Buildings, Bennett House Hotel, 84 Main St Dubuque, Dubuque County, IA
one of some thirty such establishments then in Dubuque. "It is well conducted and had found favor with the public," a Dubuque gazetteer stated in 1894. Located a few blocks south of the heart of Dubuque`s central business district, in a manufacturing and warehousing area, the Bennett House was in reality only a commercial grade lodge. An 1886 account of commercial and industrial facilities in town listed the Lorimier House on the corner of 8th and Bluff streets as the finest among the city`s 25 hotels, and then, in order of accommodations, the Julien House, Key City House, Page House and Jefferson House. It did not mention the Bennett House. This building is architecturally important as a typical and relatively well-preserved example of 19th Century Functional design.
