Summary
Constructed in 1887 by John Schmuck, a German immigrant who found success as a shoemaker, the Schmuck Block is a wonderful example of the High Victorian Eclectic style. The façade of this three-story brick building displays a wealth of exuberant decoration inspired by a variety of architectural styles. A mansard roof (Second Empire), Gothic Arch, Romanesque Arch, and the patterned brick work and complex surfaces of Queen Anne are combined to create a façade that readily suggests the opulence of the Gilded Age in downtown Beatrice.
