Security Building - Dubuque, Iowa

I was surprised to see that this building in Dubuque, Iowa is still standing. So is the Grand Opera House, the red building next to it.  The dog's not there anymore though. The Security Building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2006. Today, Dubuque Main Street, a non-profit, helps to preserve and support a vibrant downtown. Here's what it looks like today:

L. Bush stayed there in 1952 and had this to say:
 

Hi neighbor! Believe it or not I might be getting home the last of this week. Took a trip up into Canada with my family and we stayed here one night. Fine scenery.

Do you still have Hay's Dairy? You might have the driver leave a bottle of milk for me Friday. Have him charge it to me.
