The F. J. Kirchman House in Wahoo, Nebraska, is a Queen Anne-style residence built in 1903 for banker F. J. Kirchman, who was imprisoned in 1930 for his involvement in the Great Depression. Designed by Jacob Ort, a Civil War veteran who had settled in Wahoo in 1878, the house exemplifies the ornamental character typical of Queen Anne architecture. The residence underwent moderate remodeling in the 1920s before passing to Ernest and Jacqueline Schiefelbein, who occupied it through the 1950s. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 2003, it stands as a testament to both local architectural heritage and the economic upheavals of early twentieth-century America.
