Summary
Constructed ca. 1874, the Guy Brown House is a two-story vernacular wood frame Italianate-style residence. It stands as a rare remnant of Lincoln's original residential development and is one of the first generation homes in the city. It is an illuminating example of Italianate house design with considerable historic integrity. The house was converted into a duplex in the 1930s. The modifications of the 1930s are significant in their own right, without obscuring the original design.
