Peosta is a city in Dubuque County and a commuter town for the city of Dubuque. Dubuque is the county seat of Dubuque Count and is located along the Mississippi River. The city lies at the junction of Iowa, Illinois and Wisconsin, a region locally known as the Tri-State Area. It serves as the main commercial, industrial, educational, and cultural center for the area. It was founded in 1833 and incorporated in 1857. New Melleray Abbey is a Trappist monastery located near Dubuque, Iowa. The abbey is located about 15 miles southwest of Dubuque and is in the Archdiocese of Dubuque. Currently the Abbey is home to about 28 monks. Several of the monks work in their business, Trappist Caskets, and some of their food comes from the garden behind the Abbey. The Abbey was founded in 1849, when the first six monks arrived from Mount Melleray Abbey to the present site of the new abbey. When the first six brothers finished a temporary building, 16 more monks came to live at New Melleray. After the Civil War, the present stone structure was built. The monastery was built in a 13th Century Gothic architecture style. Because of financial concerns, the Abbey\'s chapel was not completed as originally envisioned by the architect. It had originally been on the second floor of the east wing, then was moved in 1920 to the second floor of the north wing. In the 1970s, the abbey was able to convert the entire north wing of the Abbey into the permanent chapel, which features a very simple and very elegant design. Red oak is used in the choir stalls, doors, Eucharistic chapel, and other furnishings. The altar was made of granite that had been quarried in Minnesota, and it weighs five tons. This real photo card is not postmarked but the Ekc stamp box dates it between 1930 and 1950. That would make this an image of the second chapel on the second floor of the north wing. The cardis in good condition with intact corners and edges and a clean, clear image and reverse
The colors on the images are a more neutral B&W than the scanUnless otherwisenoted, I use Wikipedia for research and try to be as accurate as possible. Corrections appreciated.
