Thomas P Kennard House

The Thomas P. Kennard House in Lincoln, NE is the oldest remaining building in the city's original plat, built in 1869 by Nebraska's first secretary of state. Originally constructed in the elaborate Italianate Style, the house has had various uses throughout its history, including as a single-family residence, fraternity or sorority house, boarding house, and private boys' home. In 1965, it was designated as the Nebraska Statehood Memorial and restored by the Nebraska State Historical Society to commemorate the state's centennial. The Kennard House serves as a symbol of hope and represents the aspirations of a new capital in a new state. It showcases the rich history of Nebraska and its significance in the development of the region. With its historical importance and architectural charm, the Kennard House offers visitors a glimpse into the past and the opportunity to appreciate the state's heritage.Generated from the website
