Summary

The Joachim Massow/Charles & Annie Schutz House is located in rural Otoe County between the villages of Otoe and Dunbar. Built in 1875, the wood-frame home is one of the best regional examples of the Gothic Revival style applied to a farmhouse. The Gothic Revival style is relatively rare in Nebraska, although it is seen applied to small rural schools and churches, both of which are threatened property types. Gothic Revival residences are uncommon, but the early settlement of southeastern Nebraska, within the later part of the style's popularity, provides more examples of the style than in other regions of the state.
