Summary
The University Place Historic District is significant as an excellent (and best surviving) example of the residential component of the "college-town" phenomenon, which occurred at six locations on the outskirts of Lincoln and played a crucial role in the growth and development of the city. The area displays a range of residential styles including Prairie Boxes, Bungalows, and a few modest Period Revival style properties spanning the period from c.1890 to 1949.
