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 floor👇

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.👇

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

Just as a reminder they were FINDING these same type buildings all over the realm.

Sometimes they were repurposed into State Insane #Asylums, Orphan homes, State houses, or Boys homes/schools.

~Northampton State Lunatic Asylum for comparison
Also 1870👇

Here is Wills Hall in Minnesota. Same story. Built before a town could even use it, in the middle of nowhere, and still half buried. 👇

Again, same design, half buried, no chimneys, no heating, No schematics, no bathrooms (put in later) Circa 1800s, and no population to support grand scale.

Ohio State University 👇

Another 'School' built [read: #FoundDead] in Seattle Washington for no population and still half buried.

Seattle was not even dug out yet by the #Usurpers yet. No trains yet and NO #NaturalCement to even build it.

No Construction Pics. of ANY building being built in this city
