grants special zoning requests for
historic buildings, he said.
“This allows special uses that
wouldn’t be permitted under regu
lar zoning,” he said. In other
words, these buildings, with per
mission , can be used for sornething
other than what the city zoning
ordinance calls for. These permits
are granted on a case-by-case basis
by the city council, he said.
Waterpark, an old power and
water plant turned into apartments,
received a special permit for his
toric preservation, Zimmer said.
Located in a duplex area, Water
park received permission from the
city council to be a 39-unit apart
ment building.

Another example of a special
permit would be tne Harris House,
which is an office building located
in an area zoned for apartments, he
said.
Zimmer said most of the historic
buildings are privately owned.
Buildings in the Haymarket
district also have received tax
credit, he said.
‘This area is intended to be a
mixed-use area,” he said.
Offices, retail stores, restaurants
and residences will exist side by
side ‘‘with special historic charac
ter,” Zimmer said. The old ware
houses are representative of the
railroad’s importance, Zimmer
said.
The exterior of Haymarket
buildings is subject to review by
the Historical Preservation Com
mission, which is a seven-member
group appointed by the city coun
cil, Zimmer said. The Haymarket
architecture dates from the 1880s,
1890s and 1900 through 1920; al
though "the general focus is on
early 20th century,” he said.
The Charles F. Creighton district
is just south of the Nebraska
Wesleyan University campus, 49th
Street to 54th Streets and Walker to
Leighton streets, he said.
Zimmer said the national regis
try is an honorary listing and does
not require any special improve
ments or upkeep. Private owner
ship is encouraged because the
houses deteriorate quickly if they
are not kept up and lived in.
A few houses in Lincoln are
museum houses, like the Thomas
P. Kennard House, owned by the
state historical society, Zimmer
said. This house on H Street is one
of the first homes in Lincoln.
Hayward School on 9th and
Charleston streets is considered a
historic site for its architecture and
history. Zimmer said the school
was built in three stages and has
three distinct architectural styles.
Hayward School was in a Ger
man-Russian neighborhood and
the school adopted special pro
grams to help children catch up
with their studies when they
missed school to work in the beet
fields.
Another historic building is the
Terminal Building on 10th and O
streets, which was built by the
street-car company as a terminal in
1916.
“It has a historical connection to
the street-car line in Lincoln,”
Zimmer said. Now the terminal
building houses regular offices.
Lincoln does well in restoring
historic buildings, Zimmer said,
but in some instances, a rather
historic building has been torn
down.
The Block 35 area, slated for
demolition for the downtown re
development project, includes
some historic buildings but not
many, Zimmer said.
Bill’s Saloon, which was demol
ished in April, was a historic build
ing, but wasn’t on the national
registry or designated by the city
council, he said. The cast-iron front
was saved and will be used on a
building in the Haymarket district,
he said.
The old Sam Lawrence hotel,
11th and P streets, is abandoned
and also slated for demolition.
Construction began on the hotel in
the 1880s.
