City of Lincoln Planning Hotel Capital

Hotel Capital
Boundary/Address: 139 North 11th Street Designation: National Register Architect/Engineer: H. L. Stevens & Company of Chicago Year Built: 1925-1926
Eugene C. Eppley of Omaha owned the Lincoln Hotel at 9th and P Streets when a group of Lincoln businessmen formed the Lancaster Hotel Company and built the community-owned Cornhusker Hotel at 13th and M Streets in 1925-6. Eppley responded by extensively renovating his Lincoln (built in 1894) and by constructing the Hotel Capital at 11th and P Streets in 1925-6. At eleven stories, the red-brick Hotel Capital was one story taller than the new Cornhusker. Its abundant limestone trim in the Colonial or "Georgian" Revival style led to its renaming as "Georgian Place" when it was converted to condominiums in 1983.
