Steeple Square
Steeple Square, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, serves as a collaborative, multi-tenant, inclusive center providing an attractive hub for social life and community support while preserving its historic fabric and features.
Established in 2013-2014, Steeple Square is a non-profit organization made up of civic, non‐profit, business and community leaders working in partnership for:
- Job readiness, education and training
- High-quality, downtown childcare
- Arts, culture and tourism in downtown Dubuque
- Campus sustainability and historic restoration of the former St. Mary’s parish campus
The repurposed campus, which is the Steeple Square Community Event Center/Honkamp Hall, Sisters of Charity BVM Community Center, the McCoy Multipurpose Room, the Sr. Helen Huewe Culinary Kitchen, and the Marita Theisen Childcare Center is an agent for positive change and a catalyst for restoring lives.
