==Buildings & Projects==

Meyer House remodeling and extension (1981), 1717 Otoe Street, Lincoln, Nebraska.[[#References|[3]]][[#Notes|[a]]]

==Notes==
a. Meyer acquired the property at 1717 Otoe in Lincoln in 1981.  The prior improvement consisted of a very small house and a garage, both at the rear of the property, built in 1925-26.  Both were issued permits as garages, but the application for the larger (18'x20') of the structures listed "living quarters" as the building's purpose. Presumably the original intention was to add a larger house to the north, but that was not accomplished until Meyer's acquisition and construction of 700 sq. ft. of additional living space in 1981.[[#References|[3]]]
