The historic but quickly fading Bettison Mansion near Ashland Neb


OmahaHome architectural stylesstory by robert nelson bull photography by bill sitzmann

Italianate At the Foundation of Nebraska


THE SPARE LINES OF General Crookrsquos frontier military home at Fort Omaha (Metro Community

College) donrsquot quite do justice to the Italianate form The most regal Italianate homes in Nebraskarsquos early days were built to send a message Itrsquos possible to thrive in the ldquoGreat American Desertrdquo and dangit wersquore here to stay

The list of Nebraska homes on the National Register of Historic Places is peppered with these tall stately boxes with flat roofs topped with square cupolas Most famous perhaps are the Butler Gillespie and Kennard houses near the Nebraska State Capitol in Lincoln In photos from around 1870 the three homes tower over empty prairie and a mostly paper town ldquoThey were built by promoters of Lincoln to say to people lsquoWe have confidence in this new town you should toorsquordquo says Jim Potter author and senior research historian for the Nebraska State Historical Society ldquoAll across the state you see town boosters using that big bold style to send a message about their townrdquo

Just to the west of Omaha on a hill south-east of Ashland not far from Mahoney State Park sits a long-silent relic of the early days of statehood The Bettison Mansion built in 1874 from limestone quarried near South Bend Neb has been in decline for decades and abandoned since the late 1990s Still preservationists continue to hope that some-one will buy and restore the fortress-like struc-ture ldquoItrsquos a special place not one that anyone would want to see lostrdquo Potter says

(For more information on the house visit ashlandhistoricalsocietyorg)

three or four storiesbull Wide overhanging eaves with

brackets and cornicesbull Square cupolabull Porch topped with balustraded balconies

The Italianate style began in England in the 1840s For the previous two centuries English homes tended to be formal and classical in style Builders began to mimic the more fan-ciful design elements of Italian Renaissance villas Like Queen Anne and other architec-ture styles when the Italianate movement came to the United States it was reinterpreted again to create a uniquely American style

Italianate forms were fading from fash-ion along the coasts of the United States by the early 1870s But styles tended to arrive and stay later on the frontier Italianate houses were being built in Nebraska well into the 1880s OmahaHome

W HEN KURT AND BETH Bratches moved to Omaha from Connecticut just

over a year ago one of their must-haves was a home with a fireplace ldquoI grew up with a fireplacerdquo says Kurt owner of All Things Home a remodeling service

A former day trader Kurt and his family would often escape the buzz of Wall Street in

River Stone Fireplace


OmahaHome dbullibullystory by jennifer litton bull photography by bill sitzmann

the serene calm of the Adirondack Mountains where cozy lodge rooms were commanded by roaring stone fireplaces The Bratches chan-neled their vacation nostalgia as the focal point of the living room in their warm and inviting Country Club home

Built in 1932 the home needed a few updates ldquoThe fireplace was tragicrdquo Kurt says ldquoI tore everything outrdquo Beth an inte-rior designer with The Designers came up with the design

ldquoI always think itrsquos important to let the house speak to you a little bitrdquo she says ldquoThe paneling is not something we would have chosen I think it was done in the 60s but when you look at design thatrsquos kind of coming back Letrsquos just replicate that design there so it goes with the houserdquo she says

ldquoThe key is to update it without taking away the character and integrity of the houserdquo Kurt says He first used a hand chisel to take out the existing hearth ldquoThat was the un-fun part of it Itrsquos messyrdquo He then built the box and the surround For the mantle he used a piece of reclaimed cedar from a friendrsquos barn in Connecticut

He used mason screws to secure the box to the masonry ldquoThe idea is to put your fasteners on a spot that can be hiddenrdquo Kurt then used a sheet of birch over the top ldquoI laid it up like a frame and then I put the pieces in between it and framed it all outrdquo he says He finished it with crown molding and gave it a coat of satin paint ldquoSatin gives it a nice patinardquo

A tip from a pro Kurt first taped the dimensions of the fireplace on the floor to experiment with the stonersquos placement like putting together a puzzle ldquoThatrsquos how I figured out where everything was going to gordquo he says

The entire project cost $400 and took about a week to do ldquoYou buy quality lumber It just comes out betterrdquo he says

The cedar for the mantle wasnrsquot the only material that took a circuitous route to Omaha The Bratches collected the proj-ectrsquos river stones from such sites as the Long Island Sound Rhode Islandrsquos Block Island and Omaharsquos Standing Bear Lake One of the stones stands out among all others The one engraved with the word ldquohomerdquo was a gift from their daughter

The Bratchesrsquo self-styled river stone fire-place now serves as a visual collection of some of their favorite memorieshellipa love story writ-ten in stone OmahaHome

perfect storage solution for my little gems

WHAT YOUrsquoLL NEEDbull A piece of recycled furniturebull Patterned doormatbull Sandpaperbull Paintbull Sponge rollersbull Sealer

INSTRUCTIONSbull Remove hardwarebull Rough up the surface with

sandpaper taking the sheen offbull Select a paint that works best on

wood ProClassic from Sherwin Williams is a good choice

bull Use a sponge roller for painting the wood for a smooth finish Several coats works best

bull Center the doormat mat on the surfacebull Using spray paint apply several

light coats from all anglesbull Use spray sealer or a roll-on

sealer to the desired look bull Spice it up with some new hardware

Donrsquot throw away that now trashed door-mat just yet You can create a similar vibe in making dramatic wall art on wood panels

This time I went with a rich stain as the base of the artwork And donrsquot forget that your most hardware stores will cut a panel into four uniform pieces Stain the wood after sanding and rounding the corners just a bit Assemble the panels as though they were one contiguous piece again position your mat accordingly and get to work with your spray paint and sealer The needs of each space will vary but yoursquoll want to hang the panels with at least a two-inch gap between each panel OMAG

If We Had Only Thought of Thathellip Ten Add-ons to

Consider in Your

New Home Before

itrsquos Too Late

A STITCH IN TIME SAVES ninerdquo But in the homebuild-ing world the old saying

might sound more like ldquoAn additional nine or so electrical outlets added before your new home is finished in time will save you from a lot of frustration and probably quite a few additional expenditures and certainly will ultimately reduce the number of petty argu-ments with your spouserdquo

You can decide which phrase is catchier The point If yoursquore building a new home take extra care to think of every possible place you could use an extra outlet spigot light switch drain jack closet or bowling alley before those walls are finished

ldquoItrsquos pretty frustrating if you have to go back in to add stuff right after you move inrdquo says Joe Rongisch owner of Vantage Design amp Construction in Omaha ldquoItrsquos doubly frus-trating when you realize how much more it costs to do it afterwardsrdquo

For example electrical outlets cost about $75 a piece to install as a home is being built To install an outlet after a home is completed usually runs more than $200 Rongisch says

With this in mind here are 10 common features you may want to consider before the drywall crew gets to your new home OmahaHome

Outlets in the closets

Rechargeable vacuums are handy

but they need a place to hide

Outlets in the bathroom

cabinets These allow you to hide

those electric toothbrushes

and razors

Extra electric outlets in the garage Yoursquoll probably feel the need to add some sort of workstation to your garage as time goes on Yoursquoll need outlets for that Also the cool kids on the block increasingly have televisions and refrigerators in their garage

Man Cave necessities And while yoursquore brainstorming guys consider these items for the basement Think of extra outlets plumbing for a wet bar outlets for alternate or multiple television positions (yes some guys are turning basements into sports bars) man mood lighting (for no better term) speaker niches and trophy and memorabilia shelving

Garbage disposal for your wet bar

(Or outlet for a later wet bar)

and other fun foods could clog drains

Lights under kitchen cabinets You donrsquot want to be dicing food in the dark

Pull out drawers in any empty spaces

Homeowners never wish they had less

storage space

A window in the garage Once you start working in the garage yoursquoll

quickly realize you need more light and more air movement

in that space

A water spigot in the garage Yoursquoll want to

be washing cars and cleaning the

grease and dirt off the garage floor

Simple enough but itrsquos often one of those amenities

overlooked until it is needed

Lights in the closets It helps to be able to see

From Pioneers to Prosciutto Fort Calhoun is on the rise


OmahaHome neighborhood profilestory by david williams bull photography by bill sitzmann

U NTIL NOT THAT VERY long ago the only major rumbling in Fort Calhoun was the result of the teeth-shattering vibrations made by a never-end-

ing parade of 18-wheelers lumbering through town along the busy commercial corridor that is Highway 75

ldquoStraightening picture frames is a daily chore here at the museumrdquo explains Julie Ashton director of the Washington County Historical Association ldquoWe go through the space to straighten things that forever seem to be just a little out of whackrdquo gt

The rolling hills above Fort Calhoun offer spectacular vistas

OmahaHome neighborhood profile

lt The community first platted in 1855 and now with a 2010 census population of 908 is experiencing something of a youth movement as new businesses launched by an equally new generation of entrepreneurs have opened their doors up and down the main drag of 14th Street The sleepy little bedroom community perhaps best known for the Fort Atkinson State Historical Park is increasingly becoming an attractive day trip offering a folksy alternative to the bustle of Omaha

Fort Atkinson was the first US Army mili-tary installation west of the Missouri River in the then unorganized lands of the Louisiana Purchase The fort was erected in 1819 and abandoned in 1827 The present structure is a replica constructed by the state on the original site that housed a brickyard lime kiln stone quarry grist mill saw mill and cooper shop

The sitersquos position on a bluff above the Missouri River led William Lewis of the Lewis and Clark Expedition to recommend the plot of land as being ideal for a military outpost one that was built 35 years before Nebraska became a territory Colonel Henry Atkinson who also became its first com-mander established the fort

Which takes us to the question of why the town itself does not carry the Atkinson name gt

West Market Square is one of the townrsquos three city parks

Fort Calhoun Elementary School boasts a flair for the contemporary

The Longhorn Bar is famous for its wings


Omaha Home neighborhood profile

lt Legend has it that it was a split decision on the naming of the hamlet with the winning faction opting for the name of then Secretary of War John C Calhoun who would later go on to become a US Senator after acting as Vice President under John Quincy Adams

Back in modern-day Fort Calhoun cash registers are ringing in a series of new and not so new businesses

Sandy and Dane Kucera operate Too Far North a charming little wine craft beer and gift shop A faded Metz Beer sign is a clue to the spacersquos unique heritage The building dating to 1904 originally housed a Metz Beer saloon in an era when brewers most often also operated their own taverns

ldquoWe like to think that Fort Calhoun is a great place for a fun outingrdquo Sandy says ldquoThe drive from Omaha is beautiful and therersquos now lots more to do here especially after the last few years Itrsquos an eclectic friendly little communityrdquo

Almost right next door at Cure Cooking owner Chad Lebo was busy preparing some of his savory Vietnamese potbelly pig prosciutto and pungent stir-cured cheddar Leborsquos robust selections of meats cheeses and extras are sold mainly at Provisions in Midtown Crossing and at farmers markets gt

The old blends seamlessly with the new in Fort Atkinson Lunch at the seemingly always-crowded (and legendary) Longhorn Bar revealed something telling about small-town life Glancing up from a plate of yummy crowd-favorite chicken wings this writer was suddenly struck by what one didnrsquot seemdashcell-phones No texting No calls None It must surely be something of an anomaly even in the small town of Fort Calhoun but there wasnrsquot a single cellphone being wielded Which also meant no annoying ring tones competing with my attempt to tackle a heavenly pork tenderloin sandwich too big for the bun that struggled unsuccessfully to contain it

The scene was probably much more sedate than in the earlier part of the 20th century when the bar was a roadhouse situated below a hotel that attracted by all manner of ram-bunctious souls

The Longhorn is also where we found regu-lar Ron Ferring whose wife happens to be on the board of the Fort Atkinson Foundation He was chatting about the easygoing vibe at the place but he could just as easily have been talking about the quaint little community as a whole

ldquoThese are good people here real peoplerdquo Ferring says ldquoBlue collar white collar it doesnrsquot make any difference here Itrsquos the kind of place where if I happen to forget my wallet itrsquos all good They know itrsquoll be made right on my next visitrdquo OmahaHome

Urban Oasis An Oakdale home mixes worldly treasures

with wide open spaces for an eclectic yet

welcoming effect


lt The duo purchased the home in May 2013 ldquoWe got into serious remodeling mode immediately the day after we closedrdquo says Katz The five-bedroom Mid-Century Modern home was built and designed in 1968 by Omaha architect Gary Goldstein

You canrsquot miss the mounted head of a wildebeest lording over the inviting living room Itrsquos befitting that his domain is the ldquotree houserdquo Wildebeests who are natives of Africa prefer life among the open woodlands

The walls are treated with grass cloth in a cozy caramel hue ldquoItrsquos warm and it has tex-turerdquo says Katz ldquoIn a way it gives it a dressy look but also a very relaxed look I think it fits the room perfectlyrdquo

Katz says he had a vision when he first walked in the house ldquoI wanted this bright open feel when you walked inrdquo He chose a unique porcelain tile for the flooring ldquoItrsquos made to look exactly like Calcutta marble It creates this expanse that you donrsquot get with a hardwoodrdquo

The newly made bookshelves hold a trea-sure trove of titles on the subjects of art architecture and design They make for per-fect reading to cozy up in front of the linear flame fireplace with their faithful Terrier-mix pooch Tilly nestled on a lap gt

lt ldquoWersquore mixing things uprdquo Becker says ldquoWe have some vintage things that we found here and there This is 1930rsquos French Deco therersquos an 1820lsquos South Carolina sofa The little tables are original Saarinenrdquo Becker says

On a wall opposite the den which houses a fantastic Egyptian Revival chair from the 1960rsquos hangs Andy Warholrsquos original ldquoCow Wallpaperrdquo The first in a series of wallpaper Warhol designed from the 1960rsquos through the 1980rsquos ldquoIt was cut out and framedrdquo Katz says Art dealer Ivan Karp famously said the cows were ldquosuper-pastoralrdquo as noted in the book Popism The Warhol Sixties by Andy Warhol and Pat Hackett



Katz and Becker keep active by walking the wooded trails in their Oakdale neighbor-hood They do a fair amount of travelling which is their main source of discovery for all of their fabulous furniture finds They recently visited the dreamscapes of Ravello and Positano in Southern Italy with a stop in zany hectic Naples

The duo admits to a shared aesthetic which makes choosing designs virtually pain-free ldquoIf itrsquos a problem itrsquos because we like so many different thingsrdquo says Katz He mentions the neutral patterned fabric for the chairs in the dining room ldquoWe went through so many choicesrdquo gt

lt They created some open space by tear-ing down the passageway between the kitchen and the dining room Afterward the dining room needed something special to offset it from the kitchen A copper border inlaid in the porcelain floor was the perfect solution ldquoPeople are pretty surprised by itrdquo Katz says

ldquoYou want it to age and kind of turn brown which it is doingrdquo Becker says The duo regu-larly host dinner parties and their guests help with this tarnishing task ldquoWhere people walk on it is where it is aging the mostrdquo he says

The basement is home base for LK Designs The large space was the perfect place for an impressive fabric library that contains a diz-zying array of textures hues and patterns ldquoIt takes a long time to collect all of theserdquo says Katz who earned his Interior Design degree ten years ago from Watkins College of Art and Design located in Nashville gt

Back upstairs in the living room on the coffee table is a tiny metal sign the type that one would set on their desk It says ldquoReproductionsrdquo in a cool font possibly from the 1930rsquos It is a fitting little logo for their creatively engineered lifestyle of alter-ing objects and spaces to suit their tastes and collective desires

Ciuti fashion houses can carry a pretty hefty price tag

ldquoMy husband says Irsquove become something of a shoot freak something of a junior Imelda Marcosrdquo says the homeowner of this hand-some Downtown living space

Her collection of about 50 pairs of foot-wear certainly deserves to be pampered but doesnrsquot storing them in a walk-in safe seem to be taking things just a bit too far

The rich patina of the safe manufactured by the Harrigan Safe Co of Kansas City was probably a lot less rusticated when it sat in the presidentrsquos office of the furniture company warehouse that once occupied the building Today the space has been converted to a beautifully designed and appointed two-level condo

But doesnrsquot she ever worry about access to her most unusual of closets What if she forgets the combination What would Imelda do

ldquoNothing stands between me and my closetrdquo the homeowner says ldquoJust to be lsquosafersquo [pun intended] we had the mechanism welded open a long time agordquo OmahaHome

a nice cup of tea to battle the malady known as cabin fever Check out this selection of utilitarian works of art the next time you read the tea leaves OMAG

A PENTHOUSE SPACE IN RIVERFRONT Place a spar-kling anchor in the redevelop-

ment of NoDo was just the lifestyle change needed for this client

We sought an atmosphere that would be perfect for entertaining in a location perched atop the Missouri river and with a magnificent view of the stunning vista

Moving from the typical West Omaha suburbia home meant that storage could be an issue so we designed every space possible with an eye to the maximum use of space from closet systems to a Murphy bed gt
