- The small city of Dubuque, Iowa, was founded in 1833. Or was it found dead in 1833. Is history an elaborate fiction, or is the historical narrative accurate? You be the judge..

Dubuque is my home town :) Although I no longer live there I am now in another old city Albany NY. I owned a Masonry Construction company in DBQ for many years and I have even worked on some of these buildings. Ive been inside of alot of these buildings especially the court house LOL. I agree with you that these buildings are over kill in ornate design. As a Bricklayer it always puzzled me how the masons of old constructed these buildings. Same story here in Albany NY. The buildings here look the same as in the architecture. There is also a masonic temple in downtown DBQ that is also of this same architecture. It may explain alot of how this city was originally built. DBQ is also a Catholic stronghold. Its the only city where there is a church and a bar on every street. Well it used to be that way anyway. DBQ was also where Al Capone the Chicago Mobster used to hide his gang out at the old Julien Hotel. So much to see there, I miss my home. Great Video!!!!
Albany is a beauty as well. Can't believe I missed the masonic temple. Seems I have to specifically search for those. They don't pop up on a general search...
I love Dubuque. I was there visiting Dubuque University with my son a couple of years ago. I'm thinking about moving there from Minnesota.
I’d would think that the Masonic group would have alot of information but keep it to themselves.
Chances are the Catholic communists have destroyed or stole whatever they wanted.
I think the Civil War was more like a Fight between the Roman Catholic communists and Christian Bible Believing God Fearing Men.
And the Devil controlled Catholic Communists won and rewrote the history books, but they couldn’t get rid of the KJV Holy Bible
And they couldn’t get rid of.
You called it, about missing some, they dont want Dots being connected in a realistic manner
My great grandfather, Alexander Simplot was an early settler of Dubuque. His family (along with many others) moved there from upstate New York - maybe they brought the architecture with them. The many Catholic Churches you see in DBQ are there because the Irish Catholics and the German Catholics insisted on having their own places of worship. I spent a lot of time there with my grandparents as a child. I thought it must be the most Catholic city outside of Rome (in the 50’s at least)! I didn’t see a picture of Rocheck’s Department Store in your collection. It was very upscale and made DBQ quite a cosmopolitan city!
Never even heard of Dubuque to me that proves you are on the right track. Jaw dropping episode. Thanks Chris for all your great work.
Much appreciated
Dubuque is in the middle of the Driftless Area of the Great Lakes region. A geological zone where the sharp elevation and rugged landscapes prevented the Glaciers from passing through them. No sediment or silt clearing the land means it has the highest concentration of cold water streams in the world.
Such huge "old folks " homes. Yet I've been told families took in their elders, and people didn't live as long. Weird
This was very interesting all in Dubuque, IA.
They say...
Thank you.
I’ve been there….have you checked out Galena Illinois which is about 20 minutes away? It also has some interesting old architecture as well.
The narration is much more engaging without the background music.
Great exploration of Dubuque. Really enjoyed your second book. Keep up the great work OWN.
You're pretty good at this stuff. Thanks for the diligence.
A clean up operation yes indeed! Great research OWE .I will keep on sharing your information too hopefully jolt someone into reality... much love brother..
Thank you..
THE FORCE IS THE FREEMASONS
I've heard that design, with the four points around the main steeple, called '4 Angels technology'
Beautiful finds! Can’t believe the architecture in this town! Will have to get over there being a catholic from Minnesota!
Always think outside the
Box !
Thanks 💕
Stick Figure has been such a good touch . You're video's are great , as usual . It's adds a beautiful flow to your work . God Bless to you and your future explorers bud
I don't like to be critical because this is one of my favorite channels but I really struggled with the music in the background. It might be just me but It makes it hard for me to concentrate on what's being said. Like I said I'm not trying to be critical at all. This channel is top notch.
I appreciate your input. I get mixed reviews. Some like it, some don't. I like music so I throw it in there.
Its just you
@@basicbreakfastit's not just him, I commented the same thing. And like he said, it's hard to hear/concentrate on what he's actually saying about the structure.
I love these videos. Thank you!
Glad you like them!
CHECK OUT MICHELLE GIBSON AND JON LEVI
I bet there were so many buildings replaced because the buildings held messages.
I find this channel one of the most interesting
Also the Shot Tower is indeed Stone with brick on top. It was restored by Jackson Tuckpointing around 2008 ish. Many structures in DBQ used stone from the local quarries. It is a soft limestone and quite abundant in the area. I have personally laid tons and tons of DBQ limestone in my years as a Mason Contractor.
Great episode!
Amazing work and fantastic looking buildings and so many of them
Cheers Richard.
You are great! Just wish I had more time to binge all of your presentations. Thanks again.
Glad you like them!
Great video. "Clean up operation" it was.
Lived in dub my entire life- I never found the “real” history but the stories that have been passed- the Catholics invested a ton into the early years. Building most of what is now Loras college+ some of the bigger churches still around. There has always been big talk about tunnels beneath the ground that ended up being used during the prohibition- not sure if any of that is true but it’s always a good story especially hearing how Al Capone had ‘owned’ the Julian Dubuque Hotel for some time (Or at least stayed there enough to get a room claimed to him).
Dubuque has lived a few different life times and it’s only living more. I don’t plan on leaving any time soon, haha
Mr. Old World, I just wanna say you do a great job with your content and videos! I really enjoy your channel. Look forward to more. 😁 Recommendation~ Could you possibly look into Seattle or Tacoma, WA? I live near Seattle, moved her from So. Cal about 16 years ago and have always wondered about the history here... And one comment I would like to make, coming from the standpoint of my profession as a Heavy Materials Handler/Commercial Truck Driver- my specialty is transporting Flooring- Tile, Hardwood and STONE, some pallets and crates weighing close to 3000 lbs. each. The logistics involved in transporting the MATERIALS to the jobsites of these Old World buildings would have been staggering! It is difficult in the Modern day, with machinery like Forklifts and Box Trucks and tools like Pallet jacks and truck Liftgates. Then, you have to look at the condition of the ROADS surrounding many of these early buildings... dirt and mud... I have to call BS! It would be next to impossible, even if you had DECADES to build these buildings... Just my 2.5 cents... : )
Thanks for this comment. I couldn't agree with you more. I have installed granite countertops and all sorts of tile. It seems those of us in the industry can grasp the difficulty of the operation more firmly. I will look into Seattle/Tacoma...My friend Matthew over at www.youtube.com/@MarvelousOldWorld has done some deep dives on Seattle.
Maybe they used air ships to haul the materials as well as a lifter at the job site.
Anyway, keep on truckin!
Hey, I never thought of that! Great idea, could work... @@jerrelboyd2441 😁
Back to Iowa…YES! Love the old world Mississippi River towns in this beautiful state.
I think your Old World theory is spot on. Yes the skeletons of the building were there and they repurposed it. I entirely agree with you.
I came across this guy who didn't use a blinker and I thought he was turning left but he actually turned right.
hate when that happens..
I'm gonna throw something out there. We didn't build this stuff. It fell from the sky. Crazy not crazy
This is why when the angels fell so did their world
@@pauljohnstone8989
Oooh. Heavy early. 🤔
Heavy. 🤔
Great video!
Thank you for another awesome video, debunking Dubuque!
Your questions about the Shot tower are good ones, looks also like the upper 3 windows have shadows of former decorative elements and then suddenly the top is capped off with a boring white unadorned beam. Very odd.
SIOUX FALLS SD PLEASE
Coming right up....all you had to do was remind me..
Yes! Grew up there- so many good ones. Live in Rapid City now.
Excellent work, thank you.
Yes, who made and where did ALL those bricks come from....
At 19:52 what are those boxes in the field and wooden stairs??
my grandmother on my father’s side referred to couches as davenports.
different city in iowa obviously, just throwing that out there.
Davenport is a Canadian word for a couch or sofa.
Love this vid!!
A couple of things jump out for me right away, & right up front. 1. The sanitariums, rite, are for the best part sticking out like a dork in the middle of a big area with NO landscaping. Oh ! I get it! Daboogie mon had no place to hide. 😊
2. The blockwork on almost all of these structures is the same.
Reason? Grounding? That stone or G.P. mix
Is most likely a very poor conductor of Zap !
Battery? I say yes, but for ethearic energy.
3. Many, many many of these structures have a nice touch just over the entryway, flat cut white rock/ G.P. , its like on 90 % of what's left anyway.
Those are some things that are an instant " old World building " for me. Don't even have to think about it. The piano music at the building is so right for this venue, I want to be ... all choaked up. 😢
No scaffolding indeed. 95% of people I'd mention any alternative history to look at me like I'm floating 10ft off the ground and I'm the crazy one😂
That "Saint Mary's" church is wild - really original designs there - very very cool.. obviously the native Americans were not at all primitive - perhaps more advanced than we are today! Check out some of my research as well - trying to make it more interdisciplinary - I would love to get feedback and pointers.. Thanks and Regards!
Checking it out now.
Awesome - thanks ! @@oldworldex
Thank you so much! I sent you a bunch of photos of Dubuque in sometime Oct 26-27, 2022. I was there with my son for a college interview. It's been awhile, so you probably forgot. The photos weren't great. But there was six huge catholic churches/cathedrals. There are vertical like stone walls everywhere. The "mud flood" houses and structures are crazy. They're everywhere. There are so many wild steep hills. He decided not to go to that university, but I'm still considering moving to Dubuque. It's a bit of a dump, but an adorable dump. A dump full of antiques.
I remember. I almost did Dubuque then but back burnered it. Glad to have finally gotten to it.
It's a freaky old world city. I'm glad you did, too! Thanks again! @@oldworldex
Just wondering- where in the world did you find these old pictures? One of the old brewery’s in the video was actually torn down about a month ago- but the picture you had found looks like it’s still in use at the time of the picture. Incredible video, thank you for taking your time on this.
just by browsing. I like to use cardcow.com for postcards. Sometimes that's how I find the obscure buildings. Thanks for watching!!
At 7:38 the name Saenger appears on the building, is this the same Saenger as the Saenger theater in New Orleans?
Come to Waterloo/Cedar falls!
Independence has asylum as well…
Lots and lots to see in this FLYOVER STATE!
FYI the 2 steeple church is located an hour drive from dubuque iowa. Located in dyersville Iowa aka home of the field of dreams and farm toy show
I’m not a Dubuque native, far from it - I was born in Hollywood California. But I ended up living there for 10 years and yes you are correct. It is and still is a predominantly Catholic town
A lot of the buildings you featured are still there. (or were still there when I moved again 20 years ago - back to California) But they are significantly smaller in real life. :) Postcard perspective!
Thanks. I loved your video. Brought back memories.
What if Giants ate people who built these structures which required a lot of energy ?
At 9:47 Basilica in the field on dirt, WTH.
@22:26
What was the floating artifact above the corner of the building?
Those were street lights suspended by wires
The version of the Hotel Julien we see at 18:38 was indeed almsot completely destroyed by fire dated 1913, but it's coming into being is not so clear, since all we can see is that the hotel going back to 1839 (obviously a rather unsophisticated version) was done up into the complex and ambitious building we see at some point in the 19th century. Today's Hotel Julien is from 1915...
Work on the building of St. Joseph's Asylum "was to begin in the spring of 1895". Costs estimates ranged from $65,000 to $75,000 for the facility which was built to care for 210 patients. That would have meant every 148th person in Dubuque at the time being in the Asylum, though of course it would have attracted patients from a wider area too.
The St Francis Home (22:02) is officially from 1905.
The St Francis Xavier Basilica had its cornerstone in place on June 3rd 1888 and was dedicated December 3rd 1889 - a year and a half (of course work on the interiors could have continued after the dedication).
St Raphael's Cathedral 1857-1861
The Sacred Heart Church seems to have been built in a few months in 1880!
Likewise St. Patrick's Church had its cornerstone in place in 1877 and was dedicated in 1878.
At 4:52, Mount Loretto was for Catholic Sisters and it was built between 1878 and 1879
At 7:55, St. Luke's Methodist Church (still standing) has/had 100 Tiffany stained glass windows. It was built in 1896, and the congregation began worshiping in the building in 1897.
Thank you for this.
Thank you!
That stone is limestone. It’s not flat on the inside. Should see my basement. Dubuque was a lot more popular back then. The river brought a lot of jobs, people, and supplies. The courthouse isn’t that fancy on the inside. It’s kind of a dump in comparison to the outside
red brick has been found to hold an electrical charge or a conductor of some sort
Great video. I found that the city across the river from Dubuque , Galena Illinois Looks far older than they say.
Here is a real head scratcher. The sand stone structures in downtown DBQ they are all B&B today, But there is no sand stone quarries anywhere near DBQ. Matter of fact the only region I have ever seen sandstone that matches the red color such as these was in the Rocky Mountains. So how the hell did a horse and buggy people aquire and transport the sandstone to build these structures??? Just mind boggling!
Uh, well, there are several sandstone quarries in eastern Iowa. My home is made of sandstone from a local quarry.
Good on ya for being outspoken. Tell it like you see it. Continue free thinking outloud.
Great video. City suggestion - Troy NY
Will take a look.
@@oldworldex Also interesting it has the Burden iron manufacturing plants that were powered by one of the biggest water wheels in the world. Old repurposed tech for sure.
gaudi's architecture is also old world's architecture? or he was inspired of them

"They" did a scrubby dub-dub, then called it "The New World".
New from the Old.
I thank you Sir.
In reference to calling everywhere Tartarian 11 minutes in. The information l have is that Tartaria, Rome, Greece and Egypt all coexisted at the same time and were different facets of the same worldwide civilisation with similar architecture and infrastructure everywhere (including lots of artificial coastlines that Jon Levi has pointed out in many of his videos which boggle the mind). There are, apparently, many landmasses outside of our known world which are also Tartarian/Anunnaki at root which at present are hidden from us 🧐🤔😳
nice touch with the Dub style music ;)
Thanks!
@18:24
Can I suggest a channel I found by chance.
A young man goes into the wilderness and investigates things that have been hidden within vast areas of land by creating the National Parks system.
I can’t think of the name of the channel, I will return shortly
If you are interested I would like one one Midland, Michigan. It's like the only one that you did not show the Court house. I have tons of local info but honestly my production quality is not good
ill have a look.

I’m listening to this. Suddenly I think, “How is my music playing over a RUclips video?” Only to discover it’s the background music to the video! This made the video even more enjoyable.
Great choice - I listen to Stick Figure DAILY. Throw in some Rebeloution next time 🤙🏼
I'm a daily Stick Figure guy myself. Will check out Rebeloution..
Evidence will show.....
Marble Falls texas. I see evidence of a building being uncovered in a quarry,and evidence of d e w weapons at the remains of another quarry 3? Miles away. I believe they are connected underground…..I’m thinking that the nearby towns of granite shoals,kingsland,
Buchanan dam, and Burnet,along with marble Falls form a huge starfort❤️🙏🏽
Interesting
I reposted this video to a FB group called
Dubuque History- Uncensored and it was promptly censored by the admin & I was blocked... Hmm
Uncensored hahahahahahaha
@danielnicholson, thank you for sharing this! I live in Dubuque and I’ve also been obsessed with the old world buildings and it’s cool to see a video of my hometown! I called out the hypocrisy of them blocking you and literally doing what they claim to not do. All of these idiots thanking that William clown from protecting them from having to do a little thinking. I suggested they change the name of the page to “History that is approved by Bill to talk about “ Needless to say, I got myself blocked from that page too.
@@oldworldexthank you for making this video!
Where does the corn go? 😆🌽
You are nuts.
Just found you and LOVE this channel, but I don't think you need the music? Its distracting from your crazy good content. Just a thought...ditch that crap😉
point taken.
@@oldworldex ❤ you can also tell me too bad, I'm easy😄😄😄
@@JoyinFloridaI do appreciate the feedback..
@@oldworldex whew. God bless❤😊
Yes, I too have been a G.C. and I would love to have 10$ for every one of these structures that are claimed to have been built in 2 years. Even today, with the very best ! Of crews, and yes, Crews plural, maybe 60 good men, I think I would shoot for a 5 year completion time. Now, that's with a sheet rock interior 😂 to complete it with what it has, Oh, let's give it another 5 to 8 years to be turn key. Most of the interiors of these structures would be at least twice the time to complete and some would be 4 or 5 times as long as the exterior walls and the roof. Now if I had access to the building technology that was actually used to put these things up when they were originally done, mmm, probably 2 days. 1 day to manifest the outside, and 1 day for the inside.
Not counting the time for Wine and Bread breaking. And there you have it. Add 2 millennium if you want a pooper and a sink.😊
The game is rigged. Who benefits from all of it? Hmmm.
😮 You know who it is.
PLEASE-no more music!!!
I was thinking some Pantera 'Mouth for War' would sound good! I could see Chris and Phil sharing a mic LoL
I am now thinking it might be to get passed ->> YT.
I like the music 🎶 ❤
I dig chris’ music vibe
The whole world fits in the palm of your hand. You try to tell them, but they just don't understand.

Yeah. Keep it. 💥
Yes. I thought it was just me.. I really struggled listening to him and I had to shut it off . Too loud.

Dear Mr Host,
Please save your socialist claptrap opinions for your pals down at the labor temple. Just history, not histrionics. thank you.
Socialist? Far from it lololol Move along.
Could not get past the Marxist narration.
Marxist lol far from it!
@@oldworldex it's all over your video. That or you're a useful idiot. pissing and moaning about "resources" when discussing period architecture? Whining about colonialism? Give me a break.
