Университет Дрейка (англ. Drake University) — частный университет в Де-Мойне (США). Университет основан в марте 1881 года местным учителем Джорджем Карпентером и Фрэнсисом Мэрионом Дрейком, героем гражданской войны и будущим губернатором штата Айова. Первые 77 студентов стали заниматься в единственном здании, студенческом доме. В 1883 году построено первое постоянное здание, Old Main, ныне входящее в Национальный реестр исторических мест США. В состав университета входит и школа права, созданная в 1865 году, одна из 20 старейших в США.

Dubuque County Jail

The Dubuque County Jail is a historic building at 36 East 8th Street in Dubuque, Iowa, United States. Completed in 1858, the jail is an example of the uncommon Egyptian Revival style. It is architecturally a highly original work of John F. Rague, who also designed the 1837 Old Capitol of Illinois and the 1840 Territorial Capitol of Iowa. The building was designated a National Historic Landmark for its architecture in 1987. It served as a jail for more than a century, became a museum in 1975, and was converted into county offices in 2016. History The first Dubuque County, Iowa jail was a stone building nicknamed the "calaboose" built in 1836. It was succeeded by a log building at the corner of 8th and Clay Streets that was intended to be built as a county courthouse. By 1855, it was apparent that a larger structure was needed. On April 1, 1856, citizens of the county voted to approve the construction of the current structure for $40,000. On April 17, the construction contract was awarded to David Armstrong. Rague & Drake designed the structure. The new county jail was built with blue limestone from Dunleith, Illinois. Completed in 1858, the jail had thirty-two cells and a Sheriff's residence. On June 1, 1874, a six-cell addition was approved for the eastern portion of the building to house female prisoners. It was completed that December for $5,600. The building was used as a jail until 1971. On June 27, 1972, the building was recognized by the National Park Service with a listing on the National Register of Historic Places. In 1975, the Dubuque Art Association rented the building as a museum. In 1983, the Dubuque County Supervisors extended the lease for twenty more years; this marked the first time that the association had a long-term home. The jail was declared a National Historic Landmark on May 28, 1987. When the lease expired in 2003, the association moved into a bank building by Washington Park. The Dubuque County Historical Society took over operations, turning the gallery into the Old Jail Museum. The county felt the space was underutilized, and converted it to office space in 2016 for the county medical examiner, I.T. department and veteran's affairs office. the renovation cost $800,000 and maintained and restored much of the original character of the building.

Eagle Point Park (Dubuque, Iowa)

Eagle Point Park is a 164-acre (0.66 km2) public park located in the northeast corner of the city of Dubuque, Iowa, United States. Eagle Point is mostly situated on a bluff that overlooks the Mississippi River and the Lock and Dam No. 11. The park is owned and operated by the city of Dubuque. It was listed as a historic district on the National Register of Historic Places in 2017. At the time of its nomination it contained 34 resources, which included 14 contributing buildings, seven contributing sites, five structures, five objects, two non-contributing buildings, and two non-contributing structures. History The Eagle Point site was selected by Charles Mulford Robinson, who wrote a report, "Report on the Improvement of the City of Dubuque, Iowa". A committee, led by Judge Oliver Perry Shiras, was formed and the property was acquired by the city in 1908. The park was opened in 1909. During the Great Depression, as part of the Works Progress Administration program the park was expanded and renovated. President Franklin D. Roosevelt viewed the park and said, "This is my idea of a worthwhile boondoggle". Architect Alfred Caldwell directed the building of many of the structures at the park, which made use of the limestone found in the area. These include the pavilions, the fish pond, the areas around the fish pond, and a bandshell for public concerts. A large statue of an eagle was placed near the entrance to the park. At one time the city offered regular bus service to and from the park, and a shelter was built for bus passengers. Today, that shelter is used as an information center. The Riverwalk, situated along the edge of the bluff, has views of the Mississippi, the Lock and Dam, the city of Dubuque, and Grant County, Wisconsin. The park offers tennis courts, horseshoe pits, playground equipment, a band shell with free music concerts, and a small wading pool for young children. The park charges a one dollar admission fee for automobiles, and a five dollar fee for buses to enter the park. There is no fee for pedestrians. The park's season runs from May 1 to October 31. During the off season the park is closed to vehicle traffic, but people can park near Eagle Point's rear entrance and walk into the park. Below the park was the site of the Eagle Point Bridge, which was torn down in the 1980s. See also Parks in Dubuque, Iowa References
East 14th Street Historic District

The East 14th Street Historic District is a neighborhood located on the east side of Davenport, Iowa, United States. It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1983. History The historic district is located in a part of the city known as the LeClaire Reserve and was developed later than other parts of the Reserve. It covers the 300 to the 800 blocks of East 14th Street and includes 67 houses. The earliest homes were built in the 1870s and the newest around 1910, however, most of the houses were built between 1880 and 1900. The district is located in the heart of the non-German residential area. The Germans largely resided to the west of Harrison Street. Several prominent entrepreneurs, industrialists, and professionals lived along East 14th Street. Their families, however, lived here for several decades unlike the German's who would spend a lifetime in their neighborhoods. Architecture The homes on East 14th Street are described as “solid, reasonably prosperous, and unostentatious.” For the most part, they are large (2 to 2½ stories) and of frame construction. The houses are located on long, narrow lots and are set back 20–30 feet from the street. Many of the lots are slightly elevated and terraced. Most of the houses are single-family dwellings, or they were when they were built. There are also several double houses where the two sides of the main facade are a mirror image of each other. The houses follow changing tastes and architectural styles. The earliest style found in the district is the Italianate with its emphasis on symmetry and the horizontal. It was followed by the Queen Anne with its irregular plan, towers, variegated roofs, projecting bays, dormers, and a variety of surface textures. Closer to the turn of the 20th century the symmetry of the Colonial Revival style became more predominant, especially the Georgian Revival form. Some of the houses show the influence of the Prairie Style. There is also evidence that older homes were remodeled with the features and textures of the later styles, so some of the houses are a combination of styles. East 14th Street also has several houses built in a vernacular style that was popular in 19th century Davenport. They are two-story, three-bay, front gable houses with a main entrance that is off center and a window located in the gable end. References
East Okoboji Lake

East Okoboji Lake is a natural body of water, approximately 1,835 acres (7.43 km2) in area, in Dickinson County in northwest Iowa in the United States. It is part of the chain of lakes known as the Iowa Great Lakes. The area was long inhabited by the Santee or Eastern Dakota Sioux. The lake was known after its Dakota-language name, Okoboozhy, meaning reeds and rushes. History The towns of Spirit Lake and Okoboji, founded as European-American settlements in the nineteenth century, sit along its western shore. They became notable after the Spirit Lake Massacre of 1857, when a renegade band of Sioux attacked the frontier settlements, in part for food, because they were suffering starvation during a severe winter with heavy snows. It was the last Native American attack in Iowa against settlers. Geology Geologically, the lake, like its neighbors, is a glacial pothole, a remnant of the most recent ice age approximately 13,000 years ago. The lake is shallow, with an average depth of 10 ft (3.0 m) and a maximum depth of 22 ft (6.7 m). During the summer months, it is prone to stratification and to overgrowth with algae. Fishing The lake is a popular fishing destination in the region, for both open water and ice fishing. East and West Lake Okoboji have a healthy population of numerous species including: Black Crappie, Bluegill, Channel Catfish, Largemouth Bass, Muskie, Northern Pike, Smallmouth Bass, Walleye, White Bass, Yellow Bass, Yellow Bullhead, and Yellow Perch. Media The lake was the main setting of the fourth X-Files episode, "Conduit". However, the episode was filmed in British Columbia, with Buntzen Lake being used as Lake Okoboji. The lake is also depicted as being located in Sioux City in the fictitious Lake Okobogee National Park.

Edward C. Roberts House

The Edward C. Roberts House is a historic building located on the east side of Davenport, Iowa, United States. It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1984. History Edward C. Roberts was the son of Uriah and Julia Roberts. At the time he had this house built in 1909 he was the president of the U.N. Roberts Co. and the Gordon-Van Tine Company. They were both local planing mills that were merged into a single company. His mother Julia ran the U.N. Roberts Company for almost 30 years before he took over its operations. The Roberts firm was the most successful planing mill located in Davenport. Architecture The Roberts house appears to be one of the styles that the Gordon-Van Tine Company offered in its catalog. The two-story side porch version was offered in the 1918 Gordon-Van Tine Ready Cut homes catalog, but the house was first offered -- with only a single-story side porch-- in their 1916 Ready Cut homes catalog, which also showed the house on its cover. The house is not a pure example of any architectural style. However, it is one of the few examples of a strong influence of the Prairie School-style found in Davenport. Its symmetry and the prominent entry reflect the influence of the Georgian/Federal Revival, which was very popular in the city. The Prairie School influence is found in its horizontality, which is realized in the low hipped roof, wide eaves, and its windows that are grouped in bands. The stylized columns in antis of the entry combines the Neoclassical with an arrangement that is found on a number of early Prairie School houses by Frank Lloyd Wright and his followers in Oak Park, Illinois and Mason City, Iowa.

Emma J. Harvat and Mary E. Stach House

The Emma J. Harvat and Mary E. Stach House, also known as the De Saint Victor House, was the home of Emma J. Harvat, who was the first female mayor of Iowa City, Iowa and the first female leader of a U.S. city with a population greater than 10,000. Harvat was a successful businesswoman who had become financially independent and retired to Iowa City at the age of 43. After arriving there she became partner in another business venture with Mary (May) Stach, establishing Harvat and Stach to sell women's clothing. Harvat and Stach had the house on Davenport Street built for them in 1919. The house was designed by Iowa City architect Orville H. Carpenter, incorporating a variety of historical revival styles, dominated by Colonial Revival. Description The two-story wood-frame house is arranged as a compact rectangular mass, with a hipped rof. The entrance is centered on the front facade with an arched porch framing an arched transom over the front door, which is flanked by sidelights. The front (south) comprises three bays with wide sash windows in a 15-over-1 pattern and a centered projecting bay window over the front door. The roof features two hipped dormers. The house is sheathed in narrow clapboards and rests on a brick foundation. An extension on the east houses a sun room. The interior is arranged around a central stair hall, with a vestibule and entry hall between the stairs and the front door. A dining room and a kitchen are to the left of the entry, from front to back, and front and back parlors on the right, with a study or breakfast room in the middle and the sun porch off the east side of the back parlor. The sun porch was originally to be unenclosed, and the back parlor was called the "sun parlor" on the original plans, though it was located on the northeast side of the house. The upstairs features four bedrooms and a bathroom, with one designated as a sleeping porch over the present back parlor on the original plans. The attic was not finished. The Harvat-Stach House was individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places on May 11, 2000. In 2005 it and its garage were included as a contributing properties in the Gilbert-Linn Street Historic District. References
Enrollment Services Center

The Enrollment Services Center is a building at Iowa State University in Ames, Iowa. It houses the Office of Admissions and the Office of the Registrar. In 1978, the building was placed on the National Register of Historic Places. History Construction was started in 1904 after years of planning and fundraising, however, was halted in 1905 when funds ran out. After sitting uncompleted for two years, Laverne Noyes agreed to fund the cost to complete the building with the a few conditions: the building be named "Alumni Hall" the Alumni Association gets office space and the use of the building once a year the building be open to all students on campus. Until 1914, the building housed the campus' only swimming pool and in 1917 it was used as an infirmary for the flu epidemic. The building also had a cafe (known as "College Inn") and bowling alley. Between 1927 and 1937, remodeling added more student rooms, games rooms, study rooms and offices were also added when the College Inn was closed because of the construction of the Memorial Union. The Alumni Association also relocated to the Memorial Union and the Alumni Hall was used as an administration building for the Naval Training School during World War II. After the Navy moved out in 1944, the building continued to house the YMCA, YWCA, and served as dormitories. In 1966, the building was placed on the National Register of Historic Places. In 1986, the Iowa Board of Regents granted ISU approval to acquire the building from the Alumni Hall Corporation Board of Directors and in 1987, the last residents moved out and a $2.1 million historic remodeling was undertaken. In 2008, the building was renamed from Alumni Hall to Enrollment Services Center to avoid confusion with the new Alumni Center. The building now houses the Office of Admissions and the Office of the Registrar. Gallery References
