George Meisner House is a rural mansion located approximately one mile north of the town of Shelton, Nebraska. The house was constructed in 1893-1894 and was built in the Queen Anne style. In about 1915, during an "anti-Victorian" period, it was remodeled to more Neo-Classical styling. (from Wayback Machine)
It is a two-story frame house on a raised basement of Colorado limestone. When completed it "was described as a residence that 'excels in every respect, any other in central Nebraska' (Shelton Clipper, Aug. 17, 1894)". It was a home of George Meisner, a rancher, landowner, and businessman.
Besides the house, two other contributing buildings were included in the listing: a two-story frame carriage barn and an adjacent one-story frame garage.
In 1988, the house was added to the National Register of Historic Places.
