Buildings & Projects
1880s
For most of Berlinghof’s first decade in America he was employed in Omaha, principally by Louis Mendelssohn (1842-____), Architect, another German who arrived there in 1880.
H. F. Cady house (1886), Nebraska City, Nebraska.[g]
First National Bank (ca. 1886), SE corner 13th & Farnam, Omaha, Nebraska.[1][h]
1888-1893
During this period Berlinghof was a partner in a string of related firms, including Creedon & Belinghof, Architects, Bell Creedon & Berlinghof, Architects, and Bell & Berlinghof, Architects, the last two having offices in both Omaha and Council Bluffs, Iowa.[15] While Bell states the Bell & Berlinghof partnership was formed in 1883, it is clear that is reference to the original establishment of Bell’s own practice there. Buildings presently associated with the latter firm are all in Council Bluffs; Berlinghof’s impact on the Bell & Berlinghof buildings there is presently unknown. After dissolution of the partnership, ca. 1894, Berlinghof established his own practice in Beatrice, and then, in 1905, in Lincoln:

1910-1917
In mid-1910, Berlinghof formed a partnership with his young draftsman, Ellery L. Davis, in the firm of Berlinghof & Davis, Architects. The brief partnership was awarded several of the most important early twentieth century commissions in Lincoln. The partners also did independent and semi-independent work, or were the lead architect for the firm on selected buildings during this period. Those attributed to Berlinghof are listed below, but see the Berlinghof & Davis buildings and projects for the firm’s work.

1917
Rudge & Guenzel Department Store (1917), 1224 N & 141 S. 13th, Lincoln, Nebraska.[16][29][j]
The Rudge & Guenzel project was underway at the time the Berlinghof & Davis partnership collapsed. Both partners worked on the building, as did Gilbert H. Ellsworth, who provided structural engineering and superintendent work. Ellsworth stepped in after Davis departed, and the building permit was issued to Berlinghof & Ellsworth, Architects. Rudge & Guenzel is the only known product of this partnership. Ellsworth subsequently worked for many years as a superintendent of construction for Davis & Wilson; see Gilbert H. Ellsworth (1864-1947), Superintendent for details.
1917-1944
Following the demise of the partnership with Davis, Berlinghof again established a solo practice in Lincoln, and maintained it until his death in 1944. He continued to design major public buildings, including courthouses.

Notes
a. Darmstadt Polytechnic, the Technische Hochschule zu Darmstadt. It was founded as a higher trade school in 1836, became a technical school in 1864, and a polytechnical school in 1868. It was elevated to university status by the Grand Duke of Hesse in 1877, including architecture and engineering curricula.[18]
b. Plans on file at Nebraska State Historical Society, Historic Preservation Office.
c. The George A. Berlinghof Manuscript Collection at Nebraska State Historical Society includes a rendering for a two-story, brick and stucco apartment house with a red tile roof, set diagonally on a corner lot. The rendering is signed “Fitzpatrick ‘25” and inscribed “Geo. A. Berlinghof Architect.” Anna and George Berlinghof built a similar, though less elaborate four-unit apartment house at 21st and Washington in Lincoln, Nebraska, in 1931.[19]
d. The George A. Berlinghof Manuscript Collection at Nebraska State Historical Society includes a rendering for an eight-story office building, inscribed “G. A. Berlinghof Archt 1918.” The watercolor rendering is signed as delineated by the architect.[19]
e. The George A. Berlinghof Manuscript Collection at Nebraska State Historical Society includes a rendering for a twelve-story office building, inscribed “Geo. A. Berlinghof, Archt.” The scene includes a portion of the Lincoln Theatre building at 1220 N Street in Lincoln, indicating that the proposal was for the southeast corner of 12th and N. The theatre opened in 1924, so this proposal apparently postdates construction of that building.[19]
f. Omaha City Directory listings (following) give a more detailed, and perhaps more accurate, look at his period in Omaha.
g. The architect of record was Mendelssohn & Fisher, Architects, but Berlinghof was “first assistant” with the firm at the time. He was the delineator of the published drawing, indicating he may have had a hand in the design.[3]; see also references [1][8].
h. The architect of record was Mendelssohn & Lawrie, Architects (see "Mendelssohn & Lawrie," The (Omaha) Herald (January 1, 1887), but Berlinghof was “first assistant” in the firm at the time, and stated that he had “full charge” of this building.[1]; see also reference [8].
i. Two unsigned renderings, one of the Thayer County Courthouse, and the other of a brick business block, generally resemble another in the Berlinghof Collection of a chateauesque mansion, signed with a monogram “GB.” The attribution of the two renderings to Berlinghof is based upon this resemblance.[19].
j. It appears the project had contributions from multiple individuals. Kaspar cites several sets of drawings for this building: Berlinghof & Davis sets for 1917 and 1920; G. H. Ellsworth, Architect, tracings for 1917, 1918, and 1920; and Ellery Davis tracings for 1918.[16] The potential attributions are complex. Ellery L. Davis claims design in a list of his early projects in a 1946 A.I.A questionnaire.[43] The City of Lincoln Building Permit #7249, however, lists “Berlinghof & Ellsworth” as the architects, and drawings associated with the permit also bear the name of that new partnership. This suggests the project became Berlinghof’s when the partnership with Davis dissolved.[29] Ellsworth was principally an engineer who later worked for Rudge & Guenzel, and then as a superintendent for Ellery Davis’s subsequent partnership, Davis & Wilson (see Gilbert H. Ellsworth (1864-1947), Superintendent.
k. George Berlinghof’s 1937 application to the State of Nebraska for registration as an architect [11] includes an identification of “J. A. Yost, 1900 South 25th Street” as “Client.” Based on this source, the style, and the materials of the Yost House, an editor (EZ) credits Berlinghof as the lead designer of this building.
l. Local sources indicate that Berlinghof was the lead architect if not the principal designer.[45]
m. Local sources indicate that Berlinghof was the lead architect if not the principal designer.[46]
n. Note the drawings for this house are inscribed “George A. Berlinghof, Arch't,” not "Berlinghof & Davis," as recorded in the building permit.[47]
o. While the National Register correctly lists Berlinghof & Davis as the architect of record, an editor (DM) credits Berlinghof with the lead on this building. Aside from German-inscribed cornerstone, Berlinghof had done a number of buildings in the Seward County German-American community.
