Built in 1883 in Red Cloud, Nebraska, the Dr. Gilbert McKeeby House is a Victorian residence distinguished by a Vernacular Greek Revival porch. The house belonged to Dr. Gilbert McKeeby, a physician who had relocated from New York City. The property gained literary significance when author Willa Cather, a family friend, based the character of Dr. Archie in her 1915 novel *The Song of the Lark* on McKeeby. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on August 11, 1982.
