context_page_description: The John Wesley and Grace Shafer Warrick house, also known as the John W. Warrick Sr. house, is a house in the southern part of the city of Meadow Grove, in the northeastern part of the state of Nebraska, in the Midwestern United States. The house was built in the Queen Anne style in 1903 by a prominent Meadow Grove businessman, who made some additions and alterations in the 1920s. The builder, and subsequently his descendants, continuously occupied it into at least the late 20th century.
  The house is listed in the National Register of Historic Places, as a well-preserved example of the turn-of-the-century Queen Anne style.
context_section_description: The Warrick property is on the west side of Fourth Street.  A line of four brick piers, installed in the 1920s and formerly connected by hedges, runs along Fourth.
  The house is set in the midst of conifers and deciduous trees, including some that John Warrick Sr. planted at the time of the house's construction in 1903.  A brick-and-wood pergola, built on the south side of the house in the 1920s, is no longer extant; nor is a goldfish pond north of the house.
  The 19-room house faces eastward.  It stands 2 1/2 stories tall, atop a red-brick foundation installed as a finished basement in the 1920s.  For the first two decades of its existence, the house's front featured a porch that curved onto the south side, supported by classical columns.  This porch was extended and enclosed in the 1920s, and a balcony with a railing of spindlework supports constructed atop it.
  Originally, the rear (west) entrance of the house led through an enclosed porch.  In 1988, a greenhouse was added there.
  The north and south sides of the building feature large two-story bay windows.  There is a second-floor bay window above the enclosed front porch on the east side.  The cross-gabled roof is steeply pitched and wood-shingled.  The front (east) and south gables are supported by classical columns.
  The interior of the house was finished in a variety of woods.  Floors are solid oak throughout.  On the first floor are bookshelves, a trestle table, and a writing desk made of walnut taken from trees planted in the yard.  As of 1990, many of the original interior furnishings and detailings remained.
  A concrete curbed driveway runs westward from Fourth Street to the carriage barn southwest of the house. Built in about 1903, the barn was later converted to a garage.  Its architectural style complements that of the house.  The steeply-pitched cross-gabled roof is topped with a square cupola; there are windows in the lower gable ends.
