description

Summary

Significance: As the oldest of three such freight warehouses built in the railyards near Dubuque's ice harbor, the Illinois Central depot is historically significant for its association with early Dubuque rail transportation. It is the earliest structure remaining from the Illinois Central Railroad, which was clearly the most important rail line to serve the city. Though altered by the addition of the head house, the depot is nevertheless an important structure.
