STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE
T he J ohnH. Y ost H o u s ei s l o c a l l ysignificantunderCriterion"C" in the areaof architecture
as a rareresidentialwork of the master
architectGeorgeBerlinshofand as a localllrrareexampleof Renaissance
RevivalArchitecture.
GEORGE A, BERLINGHOF, A MASTER ARCHITECT IN LINCOLN
CeorgeA. Berlinghof (1858-1947)was bom in Germanyand studiedarchitectureandconstmctionat the Polytechnicumin Darmstradt,
Germany. He settledin Omaha,Nebraskain 1881, and practicedarchitecturein Omahaand Council Bluffs. Iowa through the late I 890s,before
moving to Beatrice.Nebraskaaroundthe flrm ofthe century. He anived on the Lincoln architecturalscenein 1905.establishingan architectural
practice in Lincoln. Berlinghofreceived prominent commissionsalmost immediatelyand was chosento design such structuresas the Lincoln
NortheastBfanch (Carnegie)Library in 1908, the SewardCounty Courthouse(1905 NRHP, SW09-93) and the A. O. Thomas House (1906
NRHP, BFo5-136) in Kearney. In 1907 Berlinghofwas chosenarchitectfor the Stat€ofNebraska and designedadditions to the penitentiary,
fireproofwings at the asylumsat Hastingsand Norfolk, and the Soldiersand SailorsHome in Grand Island.
Dudng the courseofhis careerin Lincoln,Berlinghofpartneredwith only onearchitect.His associate
from l9l I to l9l8wasEllery
Davis, who earneda degreein architecturefrom Columbia Universiq in 1909. After their partnershipended Berlinghof m aintainedhis own
architectural practice, while Davis joined with Walter F. Wilson by l92l as Davis & Wilson, one of the most prolific and prestigious
architecturalfirms in Lincoln's history, which continuestoday (2002) as Davis Design--thedean ofLincoln's architecturalpractices.
As Berlinghofs reputationas a quality designergrew, so did the number and significanceofhis commissions. He was best known
for h is designsin the neo-classicalstyle. The aforementionedCourthouseand Library displaythat style, as do Berlinghofand Davis's Lincoln
High School(1913)and ScottishRite Temple( 1915NRHP, LC l3: D8-13),both in Lincoln. Later in his career-Berlinghofalsodesignedthe
Colfa\ County Counhouse(1922NRHP, CX06-1).
Although Berlinghof is most notable for his large commercial and institutionalbuildings, he designeda few residences.which varied
greatly in style. His earliestidentified residencein Nebraskawas the Dr. A.O. ThomasHouse,a neo-classicaldesign built in Keamey in 1906.
The next Iesidencebuilt by Berlinghofwasthe Yost Houseof 1912,displayingthe Renaissance
Revivalstyle. Berlinghofdesignedanother
RenaissanceRevival style in Lincoln for ThornasJ. Doyle in 1917( 18'r'and D St.), but that housewas divided into aparft ents in the 1940sand
lacks the integrity ofthe Yost House. The last known single-family residencebuilt by Berlinghof in Lincoln is the Stake House, a bungalow
of 1919. a unique excursion into that residentialstyle in Berlinghof oeuvre.
The RenaissanceRevival houseBerlinghof designedfor John H. Yost remairs one of his finest residentialdesig[s. It represertsthe
work ofa masterarchitect,and illustrateshis ability to producestylistically significant sfiucturesin a range offirnctional types.
JOHN H. YOST
The Yost Houseis emblematicof an American immigrant's rags-to-richesstory. John H. Yost was bom in Norka, Russiaon July 20.
1859to Germanparents. The family moved to the United Statesin I 876 and settledin Dorchester.Wisconsin. In Dorchester,a seventeenyearold Yost beganto work at a lumberyard for 75 centsan hour. John decidedto move to Nebraskain 1877 becauseofthe ftee land being offered
by railroads. He eventually settled in Sutton,Nebraskaand worked for Burlington Railroad as they extendingtheir line to Sutton. In 1880,
he rrarried Christina,who was also a RussianGermanand a distantrelativeto John. Shortly after his mariage, Mr. Yost retumed to the lumber
business when he took a job as a yard employeefor $ 15 a month in Beatrice,Nebraska. After a year in Beatrice,the Yost family retumedto
Sutton.where John took a job with John D. Baine & Co. lumber yard. where he worked for the next five years. The company was then sold
to Tidball and Fuller Co., who quickly madeMr. Yostthe bookkeeperand foremanofthe yard in Sutton. Mr. Yost retainedthejob for ten years.
During this time he was able to save up enough money to buy a halfinterest in the C. Rockhill Lumber Co. yard in Harvard, Nebraska. Mr.
Yost eventually bought the whole interestin the Rockhill Lumber yard and usedhis profits to start his own seriesof lumberyards, which at its
height numberedsixteen yards throughout eastemNebraska. Mr. Yost's successin businessallowed him to move his family from Suttonto
Lincoln in the early 1900s. They rented a houseuntil the completion ofthe Yost home in 1912, which showcasedboth the quality ofYost's
lumber and his success.Mr. Yost died in Lincoln at his home on December30. 1939.

THE CHARACTERISTICS OF RENAISSANCE REVIVAL STYLE ARCHITECTURE
The resurgenceofNeo-classicism in American architecturein th€ late 19'hcentury prompteda parallel interest in Italian Renaissance
models, especially for large public buildings such as McKim, Mead, and White's Boston Public Library (1892). Less frequently applied in
residential architecture,RenaissanceRevival housestendedto be largemasonrystructures.Characteristicelementsincludedflat or low-pitched
tile roofs, broad boxed eaveswith subsiantialbrackets,symmetricalfacades.small attic story windows with largearched lower story windows.
and entries frarned rvith Tuscancolumns.
RENAISSANCEREVIVAL HOUSESIN LINCOLN
Lincoln has only a handful of residentialexamplesof the RennaissanceRevival style, all large. masonry, architect-designedhouses
ofthe l9l0s. The William FergusonHouseof 19ll (LC13: D08-003)wasdesignedbv ClevelandarchitectsSeales,Hirsch,and Gavin and is
individualll'listedon the NRHP. as is the Frank WoodsHouseat ?501 SheridanBlvd.. by ChicagoarchitectPaul V. Hyland. The Whitne;"Stephenson-Merrit
Houseof 1916at 1965B St.was one ofthe many Lincoinhomesdesignedby F.C. Fiske,and is a contributingresourcein
the Mount Emerald Historical District (NRHP).
The Yost Houseis amongthe finest examplesofthe Renaissance
Revival style in Lincoln, depicting what McAlester would categorize
asthe "hipped roof with projecting wing" type (in,4 FieldGuide to Anerican Houses),althoughas in many examplesof this stvle, the "wing"
might betlerbe identifiedas a centralpavilion. Characteristic
featuresincludethe symmetry,low hippedroof with tile covering,wide eaves,
prominentbrackets,andthe classical-columned
porch. The smallatticwindowsarewpical ofthe style.but Burlinghofdid not usethe arched
windows commonly seenin the style. However, the curved parapetofthe garagerecallsthat form.
Berlinghofs Yost Housedemonstratesa leadingLincoh architect'sventureinto this "mansion" style. There arc few housesdesigned
in the RenaissanceRevival slvle in Lincoln, and Yost House is especiallywell preservedin its site, exterior. and intelior. It ranks as ofthe
premier residencesof the stvle in Lincoln.
