The Loop, Union Park, postcard 3

The Loop, Union Park, Dubuque, IA
This is a color postcard from an era similar to the previous post. This postcard was postally used in 1907, but again the image was most likely taken between 1900 - 1904 due to the style of the loading docks and railings. The Bowling Alley is visible in the background behind the trolley. Picnic tables are visible on the hillside to the right. Also, note the crude electric poles which will change over time. The flower beds again feature cannas. The garden in the center has changed configuration.
