context_page_description: Fiske & Meginnis, Architects was an architecture firm partnership from 1915–1924 between Ferdinand C. Fiske and Harry Meginnis in Lincoln, Nebraska. Twelve of the buildings they designed are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The two men have additional buildings listed on the National Register with other partnerships or individually credited. Related firms were Fiske and Dieman, Fiske, Meginnis and Schaumberg, and Meginnis and Schaumberg.
  Ferdinand C. Fiske was born in New York and raised in Iowa. He was educated at Cornell University and moved to Lincoln during the building boom of 1887 and practiced there the rest of his life. He was a founding partner of firms including Fiske & Dieman; Fiske & Miller; and Fiske, Meginnis, & Schaumberg.
  Harry Meginnis did not receive an education in architecture but learned through the construction business. He worked under Fiske at Fiske & Dieman in their Lincoln office as a draftsman. He had brief stints at several firms in Indianapolis including DuPont & Hunter; H.L. Bass Co.; and Broakie & Meginnis. In 1915, Meginnis returned to Lincoln to start Fiske & Meginnis and Fiske, Meginnis, & Schaumberg.
context_section_description: Located within the Mount Emerald and Capitol Additions District, the Reese House was designed by Fiske and Meginnis in 1907. The Reese House was designed with false-timber work and stucco and large overhanging eaves over the porches placing it into the Tudor-Revival/Prairie-Style category that Fiske & Meginnis were known for especially in their residential projects. This residence was designed for Manoah Bostic Reese and his family who was the chief justice of the Nebraska Supreme Court and also the Dean for the College of Law at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.
