Summary

Constructed in 1913, the Broomfield Rowhouse is located in Omaha. It is architecturally significant as the work of a master, Clarence Wigington. An African-American architect, Wigington learned his skills from the prominent architect T. R. Kimball. After refining his skills under Kimball's tutelage, Wigington went on to develop his own unique style and techniques during a career that lasted from 1902 to 1963.
