Nebraska Historic Buildings Survey: Hamilton County

Combs, H.; Bauer, Anne; Bauer, John

From executive summary: "The Nebraska State Historical Society (NSHS) contracted with H. Jason Combs (PI), Anne Bauer, and John Bauer to conduct a Nebraska Historic Buildings Survey (NeHBS) of Hamilton County. The survey was conducted in the summer and fall of 2008 to document properties that possess historic or architectural significance. Hamilton County was previously surveyed in 1984—at that time 546 properties were identified and recorded. The properties were resurveyed in addition to the 183 newly identified and documented properties. Within the report, when a surveyed building is mentioned, its NeHBS site number follows its reference in the text (for example, HM01-114). These site numbers begin with an abbreviation for the county, HM for Hamilton County, and a two-digit number referring to its location with the county. Each community has a specific number, for instance, Marquette is “06” and rural sites are labeled “00.” The last three numbers refer to the building or structure with the NeHBS inventory. We would like to thank the following state and local organizations and individuals for their assistance: staff at the Plainsman Museum and the Aurora Public Library; citizens who participated in the public meetings and/or offered information during the reconnaissance survey; Jill Dolberg, Bob Puschendorf and Stacy Stupka-Burda of the Nebraska State Historic Preservation Office (NESHPO); and the staff of the Nebraska Historical Society Archives and Library." Project funding was provided in part by a 2008 Historic Preservation Fund grant to the Nebraska State Historic Preservation Office (project number NE-08-017, grant number 31-08-21732) administered by the State, Tribal, and Local Plans and Grants Division, National Park Service, U.S. Department of the Interior.
