Building at 101 North Riverview Street

The Building at 101 North Riverview Street is a historic commercial structure located in Bellevue, Iowa, notable for its mid-19th century limestone architecture. Built around 1850, this two-floor building appears four stories tall from the riverside due to the sloping terrain towards the Mississippi River. Originally intended for retail, it has housed various businesses over the years, including a dry goods store and a hardware dealership. Its unique features include a stone storefront, simple hoodmolds above the second-floor windows, and a distinctive hip roof. This freestanding building is one of the few commercial structures in Jackson County and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1991, making it a point of interest for both tourists and researchers exploring the region's architectural history.
