GERMANIA HALL. Constructed in 1896, the massive frame building costing $6,000 housed the “German Day” events of October 16, 1902, described as “the grandest spectacle ever witnessed in Dubuque.” The regional event featured a 13-block long parade.
The hall was demolished; the operating cost exceeded the resources of the DUBUQUE SAENGERBUND organization.
