Cathedral Historic District is a 32 acres (13 ha) historic district in Dubuque, Iowa, USA, that was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.[1] It includes 96 contributing buildings,[1] including St. Raphael's Cathedral.
The district was the first residential area in Dubuque, and developed into a tightly-knit neighborhood. St. Raphael's Cathedral was important in serving immigrants, including most of the Irish immigrants to the city, and in building ties. In 1985, the district was deemed to have retained "most of its original character and fabric" from the late 1800s.[2]
