Summary
After selling the largely successful Beatrice Steel Tank Company in 1959, Marion and Ruth Anne Dole were eager to build their dream home in Beatrice's Belvidere Neighborhood. To do so, the affluent couple secured the services of Selmer A. Solhiem, the architect who had recently designed the new Governor's Mansion in Lincoln. The Dole House is not only one of the largest and most elegantly designed Ranch House of any style in Beatrice, it is definitely its finest example of a Neo-Classical Revival Ranch.
