The Harris House is a historic two-and-a-half-story house in Lincoln, Nebraska. It was built in 1902 for Sarah Harris.[2] Her husband George Samuel Harris worked for the railroad company and encouraged many immigrants from Eastern Europe to settle in Lincoln before his death in 1874.[2] His widow published her memoirs as a pioneer in Nebraska.[2] Many of their sons went on to success in business at a national scale.[2] The house was designed in the Classical Revival style.[2] It was purchased by the University of Nebraska–Lincoln chapter of Alpha Tau Omega fraternity in 1919.[2] It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since September 2, 1982.[1]
