This award recognizes the historic preservation project which best exemplified the use of the U.S. Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation of Historic Buildings. Hotel Julien Dubuque (formerly Julien Motor Inn), 200 Main Street, Dubuque, Dubuque County; owned by Anthony Pfohl. Built in 1913, the Julien is a contributing structure in the Old Main Historic District. This rehabilitation project exemplifies not only a significant financial commitment, but also as an important statement for a hotel to remain in downtown Dubuque. It is an outstanding example of interior and exterior rehabilitation of significant architectural features, and a very sensitive adaptation of the historic hotel to meet modern travelers’ needs.

It is not for nothing the writers of Martha Stewart Weddings selected Hotel Julien Dubuque as the Number One reception venue in Iowa in the magazine’s 2010 travel issue. After all, over the last four years the Pfohl Family has invested over 32 million dollars restoring Dubuque’s majestic Hotel Julien Dubuque to its former glory.
