Information

The Tredway House was originally built in 1898 by Harry Tredway, a prominent Dubuque businessman.  This beautiful Queen Anne Victorian home is located less than a block from the historic Fenelon Place (Fourth Street) Elevator, affording quick access to Dubuque’s downtown area, with its many unique shops and attractions.  Guests will enjoy one of three large suites, each with a private bath and a “Sitting Room” adjoining their beautifully appointed bedroom.  The Tredway House features a large “Widow’s Walk” on the third level that provides a spectacular view of downtown Dubuque and the Tri-State area, as the vista extends across the Mississippi River. 

The Tredway House offers a “home away from home” family atmosphere with an emphasis on friendly, personal attention to the needs of each guest.  Our  services include not only the usual full breakfast in the morning along with snacks and beverages throughout the day, but also an early evening “wine, cheese and fruit” setting for guests returning from their daily outings.  Children will be provided with a variety of soft drinks and fresh baked cookies.

Information is provided regarding all the local attractions, including the Fenelon Place Elevator.  Our guests will soon discover that the elevator is not only an historic site with a great view of the Mississippi River, but also an easy way to reach the antique shops and other attractions offered by downtown Dubuque, without the need for a car.  Information regarding tours and other special events in the Tri-State area is also available for the convenience of our guests.

Other amenities include:

• Free high speed internet service in each guest suite.
• TV, DVD player and CD stereo system in each guest suite.
• Video library for guest use.
• Links to other services in Dubuque and the Tri-State area.
