Fenelon Place Elevator, Worlds Fair Turnstile

Dubuque, Iowa

After the 1893 Fire Mr. Graves sold the franchise to Ten of his neighbors who formed the Fenelon Place Elevator co. Mr. Graves gave them the franchise for the right of way for the track. This group traveled to the 1893 Colombian Exposition in Chicago, Illinois, to look for new ideas. They brought back a streetcar motor to run the elevator, the turnstile pictured Here. Imagine the how many people have passed through this turnstile in 115 years
