Description: An 1884 Sanborn Fire Insurance Map cropped to show the property of St. Raphael's Cathedral in Dubuque, Iowa, United States. The cathedral is in the center (pink, tower in blue). The rectory is located immediately to the north of the cathedral and another dwelling, no longer extant, is shown above it. The convent, no longer extant, is below the cathedral on the location of the future parish school. The boy's school, no longer extant, and the girl's school building, which became the convent, are located behind the cathedral. Emmet Street, which does not exist at this date, was built in front of the girl's school building (future convent). The dwellings at the bottom of the block are listed as shanties and could possibly be some of the residences along Emmet Street now. There continue to be dwellings at the top left corner of the property today.
