Summary

Located in Omaha, the Mary Rogers Kimball House is a well-preserved example of residential architecture designed by Thomas Rogers Kimball. Kimball designed this house for his mother and sister in 1905. Although most noted for his work on public buildings such as the Omaha Public Library and St. Cecilia's Catholic Church, Kimball also designed several houses for affluent citizens of Omaha. Of these, the Mary Rogers Kimball house is one of the best representative examples of his residential designs, as it embodies all the characteristics found in his residential architecture.
