F.J. Kirchman House

The F.J. Kirchman House is a historic house in Wahoo, Nebraska. It was built in 1903 for F. J. Kirchman, a banker who went to prison in 1930 because of his role in the Great Depression.[2] The house was then purchased by Ernest Schiefelbein and his wife Jacqueline, who lived here until the 1950s.[2] The house was originally designed in the Queen Anne architectural style by Jacob Ort,[2] who had served in the Union Army's Battery "E", 1st Illinois Light Artillery Regiment during the Civil War before moving to Wahoo in 1878.[3][4] It was moderately remodelled in the 1920s.[2] It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since August 21, 2003.[1]
