For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Title A name given to the resource William J. Klauer Collection Description An account of the resource In May and June of 1912, two itinerant photographers arrived in Dubuque and began shooting the photographs that would become the Klauer Collection. For three weeks they traveled throughout the city with a large-format camera and a magnesium-powder flash lamp taking approximately 440 photographs of workers in factories, offices, shops, saloons and even the operating room at Mercy Hospital. We don't know the photographers' names, although they each posed as customers as needed, leaving us with several self-portraits. This type of workplace photography was not unusual in 1912 – itinerant photographers traveled the country photographing cities large and small. However, the fact that most of the glass negatives did survive together, intact for 100 years, is unusual. Itinerant photographers could not carry their solid glass plates with them and instead sold them to junk dealers who scraped the emulsion clean and resold them. Fortunately, the Dubuque photographers sold the plates to Peter Klauer, then President of Klauer Manufacturing Company, who stored them in one of his warehouses. In the 1970s, at least two sets of contact prints were made and in the 1980s, Peter’s grandson, William, donated a set of contact prints to the Center for Dubuque History. Later, 330 of the glass plates - all that remained - were also donated.

Title A name given to the resource [Men loading machines at McFadden Coffee & Spice Company] Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Photographer unknown Description An account of the resource Four men are working on the upper floor of a warehouse building of the McFadden Coffee & Spice Company. One man appears to be servicing a large machine. Behind this man are three hoppers full of spices, or perhaps different kinds of tea or coffee. The hoppers have small wheels on the bottom and run on tracks. Another man is using levers attached to the hoppers to tip one of them on its side into a partially visible hole in the floor. Similar covered holes are partially visible under adjacent hoppers. A light-colored, concrete post extending vertically from the floor to the ceiling is visible, as is ductwork for an exhaust system leading to a large covered fan venting through an upper wall near some roof-mounted windows. In the rear of the image, two men are visible. One is pushing a cart filled with large bags of coffee, tea or spices. The number “60” has been written on the emulsion side of the negative and is visible in the upper right corner of the picture. The number “4” is written in the upper left corner.

According to an Historic American Buildings Survey, HABS IA-160-H, (www.loc.gov/pictures/item/ia0285/) “James and Edward McFadden formed the McFadden Brothers Grocery and Provisions Store in 1884 on the southwest corner of Fifth and Main streets. Two years later they … formed the McFadden Coffee and Spice Company with Joseph McFadden and John A. McKinlay to import, manufacture and import coffee, ground spices, coconut, chocolate, hops, soap and baking powder. After an initial period of hardship, the company began a period of continuous expansion …. McFadden shortly thereafter added tea to its product line and took over the plant of the Pritchard Buggy Top Company.... As the McFadden company expanded its sales rapidly throughout Iowa, Wisconsin, Minnesota and the Dakotas during the 1890s, the firm moved into the double store of the defunct Mitchell Tranfer [sic] House and then occupied three more buildings. In December 1902 the McFadden Coffee and Spice Company was incorporated with a capitalization of $100,000. With James McFadden as president and Joseph McFadden as secretary, the firm was finally able to consolidate its operation on October 1, 1910, when it moved into [an] immense factory and warehouse - "a model of perfection," according to a 1911 Dubuque business gazetteer. Built at a time in which reinforced concrete frame construction for buildings was beginning to gain rapidly in popularity, the McFadden Factory and Warehouse is architecturally significant as a novel and innovative foray into the new use of a material: [concrete, and] one of Dubuque's earliest truly fireproof buildings. It is historically significant for its association with the McFadden Coffee and Spice Company, a successful representative of one of the city's secondary industries.” Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived The Center for Dubuque History, Loras College, 1450 Alta Vista Street, Dubuque, Iowa 52001 Relation A related resource William J.

For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Title A name given to the resource William J. Klauer Collection Description An account of the resource In May and June of 1912, two itinerant photographers arrived in Dubuque and began shooting the photographs that would become the Klauer Collection. For three weeks they traveled throughout the city with a large-format camera and a magnesium-powder flash lamp taking approximately 440 photographs of workers in factories, offices, shops, saloons and even the operating room at Mercy Hospital. We don't know the photographers' names, although they each posed as customers as needed, leaving us with several self-portraits. This type of workplace photography was not unusual in 1912 – itinerant photographers traveled the country photographing cities large and small. However, the fact that most of the glass negatives did survive together, intact for 100 years, is unusual. Itinerant photographers could not carry their solid glass plates with them and instead sold them to junk dealers who scraped the emulsion clean and resold them. Fortunately, the Dubuque photographers sold the plates to Peter Klauer, then President of Klauer Manufacturing Company, who stored them in one of his warehouses. In the 1970s, at least two sets of contact prints were made and in the 1980s, Peter’s grandson, William, donated a set of contact prints to the Center for Dubuque History. Later, 330 of the glass plates - all that remained - were also donated.

Title A name given to the resource [Town Clock Building] Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Photographer unknown Description An account of the resource The Town Clock Tower is visible on the roof of the three-story building. Two men are standing on the roof and leaning on the base of the Clock Tower. There is an ornate marble baluster on each side of the base of the Clock Tower. Additional marble, in coordinating designs, is used around the window frames of the brick building. A desk and carpeting are visible through one of the street level windows. Several signs are visible on the building. On a side wall, near the roof, is a sign for “Ferguson Supply Company.” Visible on the shop occupying the left half of the street level are signs for “Tea and Coffee," "823 Grand Union Tea Co. 823," and a T-shaped hanging sign for "Tea Tea." Three other signs hung in the front windows of the shop in the right half of the street level: “Going out of business everything must be closed out at once,” “Buy your home furnishing now, we’ll store them until you are ready for them,” and “Going out of business, big bargains in house furnishings.” Signs on the neighboring buildings to the right of the Town Clock Building include "843 J. KA_AT 843" and "__ . __. Schumacher Hair Bazaar." Signs on the building on the far left include "__. Peterson Dentist," "813," and an awning with "Monarch," probably for Monarch Grocery.

Klauer Collection Gelatin silver prints Itinerant photographers References A related resource that is referenced, cited, or otherwise pointed to by the described resource. According to the Encyclopedia Dubuque (www.encyclopediadubuque.org), the town clock, said at the time to be the most accurate town clock in the United States, had been a prominent landmark of Dubuque since 1864 when Mr. and Mrs. George Wood gave the city a perpetual lease to Lot 54, the site of the John Bell and Company store, a building they owned on the west side of Main Street between Eighth and Ninth streets. The heavy clock and tower collapsed on May 25, 1872, killing a child and two women who were inside the building. The building was rebuilt in 1873, and a new clock and bell installed. The new clock, accurate to within two seconds each week, was operated with weights wound by cranks, which ran through a shaft into the basement of the building. The original glass plate negative was lost. A gelatin silver print created in the 1970s remains.
