The Farrell Block is a historic commercial building in Hastings, Nebraska. It was built in 1880 for Thomas E. Farrell, a surveyor for the St. Joseph and Denver Railroad Company and a co-founder of the city of Hastings.[2] Farrell also served on Hastings' city council in 1874, 1875, and 1887.[2] The second floor houses the county courthouse until a courthouse was completed in 1890.[2] The building, designed by architect Charles Rittenhouse, has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since May 1, 1979.[1]
