They didnt even dig out the exciting structure!

~Where did the Red brick and Natural cement come from?
~Rebar Reinforcement before it was invented?
~What artisan did they have build this in a barren land?
~No construction pics
~No Chimneys (but on houses)?
~No heating

You are looking at University Hall in Lincoln Nebraska

Built in mid-1800s with a pop of 500! It didnt get its first 20 students until 1870

You can clearly see 4 stories of windows, with the last set 1/2 buried along with the original doors

New modern steps built to 2nd floor๐Ÿ‘‡ ImageImage
They didnt even dig it yet. Simply built Lincoln around it.

All that remains now is the bottom section. You can see the original ground-level and the modern steps to the original 2nd floor.๐Ÿ‘‡

~Why bury your first floor?
~Why not add fireplaces and heating when it was available? ImageImage
