Nebraska Architecture

Everywhere I go I find buildings with interesting architecural designs. It's got to be a hobby of mine to photograph them. When I was in Nebraska visiting my son and daughter-in-law I took these pictures.

I love the two half-round porches with the tall, tall columns on the Arbor Lodge in Nebraska City. You might see one such entry but I don't think I've seen two this massive before. Elegance at the upmost.

This house in Brownville really caught my eye. I like the 3/4 porch with the tall skinny posts and the different window frames. I wonder why they painted underneath the porch roof a red while the rest of the house is blue.

This is one unusual house that we found in Freemont, Ne. The cupola is a focal point but not the only one. There are many interesting pitches and curves on the roof line and I especially like the added detail just under the roof on the second floor.

I found the darker blue lattice work on this house fascinating. I don't think I've seen that before. This house was in Peru, Nebraska.

This is a sort of Widow's Walk atop this home. I was surprised to see it because to me the widow's walk design belongs near the seacoast of Eastern U. S. not out on the plains.

This is a back view of the house (photo #2). Back windows in the back of the house? Hmmmm. But pretty. It appears that this back section was added after the first section of the house was already done and lived in. Beautiful place. I love the vines growing up the windows.

This house, in Brownville, looked so inviting. The roof over the bay windows with it's lighter colored trim, the cool porch and the archway to enter the porch. I just wanted to go visit.

I hope you enjoyed my architectural tour of Nebraska.
