The Loop, Union Park, postcard 2

The Loop, Union Park, Dubuque, IAThis postcard is entitled Loop of the Union Electric Co. Union Park, Dubuque, Iowa. This image appears to have been taken from the Lodge. It has a copyright date of 1906 by F. L. EGELHOF. However, with no Waiting Station present, I would guess that the image was taken prior to 1904.

Once again the Loop is featured as it appeared in the early days. Notice the 4 trolleys lined up with people boarding. The building behind the 2nd trolley appears to be the Bowling Alley. The Pavilion is just visible behind the 3rd and 4th trolley cars. Flowering cannas are often featured in the gardens. The flowers and plants pictured in the center of the loop have a very similar configuration to the next post.
