The Jasper Newton Bell House is a historic one-and-a-half-story house in Lincoln, Nebraska. It was built in 1913 by Jasper Newton Bell, a carpenter, and designed in the Renaissance Revival style, with "a nearly symmetrical three-bay front facade, corner pilasters and dentilled entablature, and a two-bay front porch supported by Tuscan columns."[2] According to architect David Ord Wallace in the National Register of Historic Places form, "the Jasper N. Bell house stands as a notable and dignified product, fully American in association, and a testament to both the conservatism and the competence of vernacular builders in the state of Nebraska."[2] It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since June 21, 1984.[1]
