Summary
Started by prominent Beatrice businessmen in the late 1800s, the North 11th Street Historic District includes some of the city's most elaborate Italianate and Queen Anne style homes. However, difficult economic times soon stifled development. When the economy recovered, architectural styles and community needs had changed. This is evident through the predominance of Craftsman style houses within the district that were originally built as rental properties. This uneven development gives the district a unique mixture of historic architectural types and styles.
