A Piece of American History: 1894 Historic Mansion in Dubuque
  • $899,000

Description

Here is your chance to own an incredible piece of American history! This historic mansion was built in 1894 by the founder of Cooper Wagon Works, A.A. Cooper. Cooper Wagon Works was a major manufacturer of wagons and buggy’s founded locally in Dubuque, Iowa. Cooper Wagon Works shipped wagons and buggy’s nationwide in the late 1800’s. It is believed that Henry Ford approached A.A. Cooper about building ”horse-less wagons” right here in Dubuque and Cooper declined. That’s the lore, at least! A.A. Cooper built The Redstone for his daughter as a wedding gift. The property has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1976. In 1984, the Redstone saw a complete restoration. Today, the Inn operates as a historic Inn & Suites. Featuring 15 suites — each with their own full bath — along with an innkeeper’s quarters, this unique opportunity can’t be passed up.
