J. W. MARKLE--572 FENELON
J. W. MARKLE HOME. Located at 572 Fenelon Place, the brick and stucco home is an example of what has been called 'Dubuque German.'
The house was actually built by Charles' father and mother, J.W. Markle AKA Captain Markle and Eliza Markle. This is based on information from the NATIONAL REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES registration form for the Fenelon Place Residential Historic District that was certified in 2015 as well as the original abstract of the property. (1)
Contrary to what the city assessor lists, it appears the home was built in 1875 rather than 1862. Charles did own the house for a period after his mother's death and had previously built his own house on Fenelon. That house was torn down after a fire a few years ago. (2)
