Notes

a. Improvement Bulletin of April 23, 1904 mentioned the contractor for two buildings at the University of Nebraska, the physics building and "the agricultural building at the state farm," citing "Fiske, Dieman & McGinnis, architects." The same contractor built Brace Physics Laboratory on "City Campus" and Agriculture Hall on "East Campus" but the two buildings had different designer. Brace Hall was designed by Mendelssohn, Fisher & Lawrie of Omaha while Agriculture Hall is credited to Fiske & Dieman. The listing of the firm with "McGinnis" as a partner at that time also appears to be erroneous. Harry Meginnis was employed by Fiske & Dieman as a draftsman from about 1902-1909, but is not known to have been a partner until he and Fiske operated as a firm from 1915-1925.[15][16]

b. In 1906, Lincoln Evening News reported a number of projects by "Fiske [sic] and Dieman" including the Orlo Apartments, listing the estimated cost at $45,000 and stating: "The walls are now being laid for the A. J. Sawyer apartment house at Fourteenth and K street."[18] Six drawings are filed with the building permit for this structure--four elevations and two plans.[19] Located at the southwest corner of 14th and K Streets opposite the State Capitol Grounds, the Orlo was demolished in 1981. Lincoln (Nebraska) Planning Department has a photocopy of a lengthy brochure prepared by Sawyer describing the floor plans and features of the apartment building, which was probably the community's largest multi-family building at the time of its construction in 1906.

c. Improvement Bulletin reported in 1907: "Holdrege, Neb.--Fiske & Dieman, architects, Lincoln, have plans for a church, 61x77, for the First Baptist Church congregation. Brick and cement stone, hard plaster, gas and electric fixtures, etc. Cost, $25,000."[25]

d. Nebraska State Journal of November 22, 1908, published a rendering, plan, and long description of a Fiske & Dieman project to build a "up-to-date photographic studio" for Miss A. Tucker, across N Street from the Lincoln city library. The large studio space was intended to provide a hall for activities such as weddings, musical events, and dances. Miss Tucker's apartment was accommodated on the second story.[26]

e. The illustrated history of York, Nebraska of 1903 mentions "The new Y.M.C.A. is to be begun in about two months."[27]

f. The Lincoln Drug Company Warehouse in Lincoln's "Haymarket" district was built as four stories in 1905, designed by Fiske & Dieman. A fifth floor was added in 1919, designed by Fiske & Meginnis, Architects.[31]

h. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Those properties in Nebraska with individual nominations have a link to their nomination within their entry. Those linked to this note are within districts or thematic nominations that may not offer extensive information on each specific property.
