Old Main Historic District is a nationally recognized historic district located in Dubuque, Iowa, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.[1] At the time of its nomination it consisted of 33 resources, which included 30 contributing buildings and three non-contributing buildings.[2] This is primarily a commercial area located immediately south of the central business district. Originally, this is where the city's commercial district was located because of its proximity to the ferry and riverboat landings. After 1860 most of the larger retail businesses, banks and professional offices moved further north on Main Street, and new wholesale businesses moved here and built new structures. The buildings are all constructed in brick and are between three and four stories tall. It is considered to be the "largest concentration of significant nineteenth century commercial architecture" in Dubuque.[2] German Bank (1901) was individually listed on the National Register, and the Hotel Julien Dubuque (1914) is also a contributing building.
