The instant I saw the window I knew it was by Tiffany, ten foot tall Tiffany stained glass window is absolutely beautiful! The Frank House is free to tour and the window alone makes it a worthwhile stop but if you are a woodwork hound then the house is full of treasures to discover. Th workmanship is exquisite. Restoration is correct and a work in progress

This is the most gorgeous house. This is the 3rd mansion Mr Frank built before he went bankrupt during the depression. The rooms & furnishing are fabulous. You HAVE to see it to believe it. They are renevating it back to it's original & are doing it all on just donations. So they need our help. This is a 3 story mansion plus basement but you can't go into the basement. I want to go back again in a few years to see what all they've done to it & I hope I'm able to see the finished product as it is going to be gorgeous. GO see this mansion, is all I can say.

Built in the 1880's, it is the first house west of the Mississippi tohave both plumbing and electricity. Its many fireplaces feature Austrian tiles of many colors. Some artifacts in the home (marked with red ribbons) are original possessions of the Frank family. Mr. Frank had previously built mansions in Corning, Iowa, and Warsaw, New York. The Corning house was destroyed by fire but the Warsaw home still stands.The home was placed on the National Registerof Historic Places in 1973.The home is presently owned by, and is on the campus of, the University of Nebraska at Kearney. It is at the west end of the campus and is just a block north of highway 30. Look for a "Frank House" sign on the north side of the road.

This is a grand house built in the late 1800's with plumbing and electricity. The builder was a local developer who helped bring electrification to the entire community through a canal system that provided hydrolelectric power. The house is grand and the tour guides were excellent. Beautiful wood carving throughout the house as well as a large Tiffany stained glass window.

I love old house and buildings. This place filled the bill. The gentleman at the house was very informative and provided us with a great tour. This is an 1880s house that cost around $42000 during time when the normal house cost around $2000. This house had a finished basement. Yes, that's right, a finished basement. Most houses during this period in Nebraska didn't even have a basement. It is three stories tall with an attic. The first floor is great. The other floors are a work in progress. There are a bunch of fireplaces even though the house had another heat source. It had own electric plant. Ask about the tunnels. The story about the cook is very interesting. Find out why the master bedroom is on the first floor. You will find that Mr. frank had some really grandiose ideas. The United States Capitol in Kearney, NE? Trolley system. Why did it fail? What was Mr. Frank's demise? Go see it. Check out the two stall attached garage(you will need to look at some pictures). Well worth the stop. Although there is no admission, please leave a donation.

We spent a couple of hours here today. The young man who served as our tour guide was simple awesome. His name was Brian Whetstone. He is a local high school student, but he is one of the most knowledgeable tour guides I have ever encountered. He answered all of our questions and gave us lots of information about the house, town and the development of the area. Highly recommend.
