COUNTY BUILDINGS.


The court house in which court was first held during 1843, stands at the corner of Clay and Seventhi streets, and was designed and built (being completed a year later) under the auspices of the most prominent. citizens of that day, at a cost of $10,000. It was considered a marvel of architectural skill and finish, but to-day is regarded with critical severity as compared with the pretentious and substantial edifices erected in the intervening years.


A Wisconsin Territorial District Court for Dubuque was organized in 1837, with David Irvin, Judge, holding terms in June and October, in a log house on Locust street, between Third and Fourth. When Fanning's build- ing, at the corner of Fourth and Main streets, was completed, a change of base was effected thereto, and court was presided over by Justices Irvin and Arndt. The tribunal next is heard of in the log building on the site of Washington Square, used also as a church and schoolhouse, and again in the stone church on Locust street, built by the Methodists, and now occupied by the Africans of that denomination. Judge T. S. Wilson administered the law here, with James Crawford, Timothy Davis, John V. Berry, James Churchman, Stephen Hempstead, M. M. Bainbridge, E. J. Reeves, - Brad- ford and others as practitioners.


On June 11, 1836, the County Commissioners issued an order for a con- tract to build a " court house of hewed logs, 26x20 feet in size, walls to be seven inches thick, first story nine feet high, second story five feet to the

beginning of the roof, to be divided into three rooms, with two eight-light win- dows ; " to have "a good stout lock and thumb latch " on the entrance door ; "to be furnished with a circular pine table, two and a half feet wide, and to be finished by October 1, 1836." This building was never used for a court house, however, but as a jail. In 1839. Samuel Wilkins submitted a draft of the present court house, which was accepted, Mr. Wilkins receiving, on April 1 of that year, the sum of $8 in consideration of his services. Immediately thereupon, contracts for its construction were executed with Rogers & Anson, Joseph Ogilby was elected architect, William Smith, superintendent, and the work commenced, James Langworthy furnishing the brick, and Joseph Ogilby the lumber.


Various causes contributed to delay its completion. In the fall of 1839, when operations had continued nearly six months, the foundation only was completed, the superstructure being under contract for future delivery. Mean- time, court sat in the log house on Washington Square and the stone church opposite, administering justice without regard to the inconveniences to which the judiciary, advocate, client and witness were thereby subjected, until the spring of 1843, when Judge T. S. Wilson, Sheriff George W. Cummins, and Warner Lewis, clerk, officers of the court, removed to the new dispensation. The building was occupied by the county officers in addition to those above mentioned ; also by Davis & Crawford and Stephen Hempstead, attorneys, and, with the latter exceptions, the building has afforded shelter to successive administrations to the present day.


In 1855, during the official term of the Hon. Stephen Hempstead, an addition was built to the eastern front of the original building, and thus enlarged, the halls of justice have answered the objects for which they were builded. The structure is of red brick, two stories high, severely plain in appearance, and, though convenient and accessible, will doubtless yield place to a more imposing structure at no distant day.


COUNTY JAIL.


What was known as the ·" calaboose," an insecure stone building, completed in 1836, served the purposes of a jail until the log house, at the present corner of Eighth and Clay streets, designed for a court house, was built, when it was taken possession of and answered the demand until the stone jail now appropri- ated was begun.


In 1855, during the official term of Judge Lovell, the question of appro- priating the sum of $40,000, for the building of a jail, poor house and hospi- tal, was first presented. On April 1, 1856, the people, by a popular vote, decided upon the appropriation of this amount for the purposes mentioned, and, on the 17th of the same month, a contract was concluded with David Armstrong for its construction. The amount named in the instrument was $36,011, and Rague & Drake were named as architects. The amount of the loan necessary for the work was represented by bonds to the amount of $21,000, of which were negotiated, at par, $9,000, at 70 cents on the dollar, and the balance at more advantageous terms.


The building is composed of blue limestone, procured from Dunleith, origi- nally contained thirty-two cells, and, with the Sheriff's residence, was com- pleted in 1858, at a cost of $60,000.


On June 1, 1874, a contract for the erection of an addition to the eastern portion of the building, same to be devoted to the occupation of female prison- ers, was let to John Hennig. The addition is 10x14x18x46, containing three

tiers, with two cells in each tier, and was completed in the following December, at an expense to the county of $5,600. It is of the same material as the jail proper, and, like that necessity of the times, a secure and substantial edifice.


COUNTY SCHOOLS.


The early history of the schools in Dubuque County has been treated in another portion of this work. The cause of education has always been a sub- ject of vital importance to the inhabitants, and regarded with that consideration the subject of its nature has demanded.


The county schools are at present under the supervision of a Superintend- ent, created by an act of the Legislature, approved May 12, 1858, and elected by the people. At that date, there were eighteen school districts in the county, which have since been increased until now they number sixty. This increase is due in part to the large proportion of pupils enrolled each succeeding year, and in part to the action of the Legislature.


On April 3, 1866, an act was adopted providing for the organization of independent districts, to be comprised of city and subdistricts with a popula- tion of 200. This act was repealed, however, and the Legislature, at the session of 1872, enacted a law providing for the establishment of inde- pendent districts from subdistricts of district townships, which was likewise repealed; but, in January, 1876, a law was passed, by which the districts could be re-organized by the residents, and rules for their government pro- vided.


According to that law, now in force, both cities and towns may be organized into independent districts, provided the population therein equals 300, or the subdistricts of a district township may be consolidated into independent districts, as the people express their desire at the polls.


As stated, the Superintendent is elected, and includes among his duties the examination of teachers, holding of a Normal institute, visitation of schools, issuing of teachers' certificates and hearing appeals.


The Normal institute is designed for the training of teachers, under the tutorship of this officer, assisted by conductors and instructors, and is held one month, annually. in each county of the State.


The following statistics and statements, relating to the schools of Dubuque County, have been furnished by Superintendent Boyes' annual report for 1879, the perusal of which cannot be entirely without interest, for the showing is most excellent, and will commend itself to the approval of the public.

THE POOR HOUSE.


In December, 1875, the poor house, established at an early day and located near the northern limits of the city, was destroyed by fire. In March, 1876, the County Supervisors purchased of W. H. McNear what was known as the Farley farm, at Julien Station, containing 200 acres for $10,000, upon which temporary buildings were erected and the paupers once more domiciled. .


Plans for a new structure were drawn and the contract for its construction let on the 10th of May succeeding, to Messrs. Heer & Nascher, of Dubuque, for $10,500. On the 10th of June the foundations were laid out, and the building completed during the ensuing fall.


The building is 69x35 feet, of brick, three stories high, with a basement, built of stone and containing the kitchen, dining, wash, bath, store and furnace rooms, with closets, etc., and supplied with stairs leading to the upper floors.


The first story is of brick, divided into twelve rooms and containing the main entrance, opening into a hallway dividing the building through its entire length, with an egress at either end, a valuable means of escape in case of fire. The inside walls are stripped with two-inch pieces for warmth and to prevent dampness, and the floors are laid with two-inch plank. On the west side is the County Physician's office, three bedrooms containing two beds each, a hospital-room and two cells for insane patients. On the east side are the Steward's apartments, consisting of a parlor, kitchen, dining-room and two bedrooms. The main entrance is surmounted with a handsome portico, and the steps leading up to it, as are also the stairs inside the building, covered with a cast-iron plate to prevent wear.


The second story is divided into nine bedrooms, there being two for the accommodation of six beds each, and seven for two beds each. The third story is a fac simile of the second.


The roof is covered with the best charcoal roofing-tin ; plain, but with a handsome, neatly-fitting metal cornice all around. The sills, keys and corners for the projecting arches over the windows are of cut stone, and the newel posts, handrails and bannisters are of black walnut.


The building is heated from top to bottom by two of Boynton's caloric wood furnaces, from which the heat is conveyed through tin pipes to thirty- eight different rooms, with a register and ventilator in each, and two in the large rooms. The furnace-room is conveniently arranged, having one furnace on each side, with the doors facing each other, and as compact as those of an ocean steamer, set in solid brick work, and protected from any chance of start- ing a conflagration. They are also supplied with an outdoor ventilator, fur- nishing 1,000 square inches of pure air in a steady stream, which, after being heated, is directed throughout the entire building. The building was examined by the Board of Supervisors on the 20th of October, 1876, and formally accepted.


The number of inmates received during the year 1879, was 33; the num- ber discharged, 33 ; number in the house January 1, 1880, 74; average nuin- ber throughout the year 1879, 76 ; average cost of maintenance for each per week, $1.673, including food, clothing, etc. Net value of farm products,

HISTORY OF DUBUQUE COUNTY.


$3,111.80, and the actual cost of supplies consumed during the year, $6,128,84. The farm products sold during the year netted $225, of which $206 was paid into the county treasury. The institution is under the charge of T. W. John- ston, Steward, an appointee of the Board of Supervisors.


THE OLD SETTLERS' ASSOCIATION


was called into being by the survivors of those who began the building-up of Dubuque in 1832, and fully organized on the 10th of June, 1865, with Edward Langworthy, President, and Chandler Childs as Secretary of the society, at which date the following signed as members : P.
