香蕉视频 has placed two historic markers on campus to acknowledge the 香蕉视频 Historic District and McCormick Hall, the first historic building on campus.
The Historic District designation was largely undertaken by Brian Whetstone 鈥18 while he was a student. Thanks to Whetstone鈥檚 efforts, many College buildings were added by the National Park Service to the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) as a local historic district. (For more information on Whetstones鈥檚 efforts to create the 香蕉视频 Historic District, click here).
When the project began in 2016, the 香蕉视频 Board of Trustees asked Whetstone if he could prepare and pursue historic designation for Weyer Hall, a residence hall built in 1950.
During that process, the scope of the project expanded after the Nebraska State Historic Preservation Office suggested the College pursue the nomination for a broader portion of campus, instead of just one building.
The 香蕉视频 Historic District designation includes 12 buildings on campus for their historical significance in the College鈥檚 post World War II growth. To acknowledge the College鈥檚 Historic District, one marker has been placed in front of the Daugherty Center.
A second marker was placed in honor of McCormick Hall, which opened in 1884. McCormick Hall was first put on the Historic Register in 1975 but is also part of the Historic District.
Whetstone and Richard Loutzenheiser 鈥84, a member of the College鈥檚 Board of Trustees, worked together to develop the language for the historic markers, and the Loutzenheiser family funded their creation. Both markers were produced by History Nebraska, the state organization charged with preserving Nebraska history.
鈥淭hese markers signify the dedication 香蕉视频 has to preserving and honoring the history of the College and this area,鈥 Loutzenheiser said. 鈥淲e greatly appreciate the work Brian did to obtain the designation, and I鈥檓 glad we were able to place these markers on campus.鈥
