Located in Sioux City, Iowa, "far and away the leading site of Richardsonian influence in Iowa/'1 the Fourth Street Historic District is notable for its collection of distinctive Richardsonian Romanesque commercial buildings. Fueled by a combination of Eastern speculative investment and local development beginning in 1889, the compact 15- building district is characterized by rusticated rock-faced stonework, contrasting stone and terra cotta trim, exceptional brickwork, enriched capitals and other foliate detail, and arcades of round arches. The district retains historic integrity related to its location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, and associations with a particularly prosperous period of Sioux City's historical development.

But the era­ sures were not always complete; and so it became the fascinating task of scholars not only to translate the later records but also to reconstruct the original writ­ ings by deciphering the dim fragments of letters partly erased and partly covered by subsequent texts. The history of Iowa may be likened to a palimpsest which holds the record of successive generations. To decipher these records of the past, reconstruct them, and tell the stories which they contain is the task of those who write history.

  • Essay Review Labor and the Landscape of American Gothic*
    Labor History, Vol. 44, No. 1, 2003 Essay Review Labor and the Landscape of American Gothic* BRIAN PAGE The study of cultural landscapes comprises one of the older traditions within the discipline of geography. Geographers view all landscapes as repositories of human action—for even “wilderness” sites have been rendered so by human agency—that reflect our character, experience, and aspirations. Recent scholarship has demonstrated that landscapes are the direct products of contest among different social groups; they are fashioned and refashioned through the exercise of social power. At the same time, such landscapes actively shape society; they are complex systems of symbolic represen- tation through which certain values and meanings are attached to both the built and “natural” environments. Thus, landscapes are “maps of meaning” that reflect and reproduce dominant cultural practice and the social order.1 Nonetheless, landscapes can hide as much as they reveal. Though formed through social contest the end result, according to Don Mitchell, “fully mystifies that con- tentiousness, creating instead a smooth surface, a mute representation, a clear view that is little clouded by considerations of inequality, power, coercion, or resistance.”2 In particular, what is most often missed is the human labor involved in the construction of a landscape, and the struggle over that labor and how it is deployed. Indeed, while all landscapes are the products of human work, the work that landscape often does is precisely to hide that labor. Thus, one of the chief goals of landscape study is to probe beneath the surface of material landscapes such as neighborhoods, commercial districts, or public spaces in order to reveal the conditions under which a landscape is made.
