	Date: 1978 Title: National Register of Historic Places, H. P. Sutton Residence (Prepared by the Nebraska State Historical Society. Published by the United States Department of the Interior National Park Service, Washington, D.C.) Author: Nebraska State Historical Society; Murphy, David Description: "The external appearance, like the interior, is a much simplified interpretation of Wright’s characteristic decorative vocabulary. Budget limitations (the house cost $10,000 to complete which was $5,000 over what the Suttons had wanted to spend) required the simplification. A strong horizontality persists in spite of the box-like two story mass of the whole. This is accentuated by the lines of the roof, the ribbons of casement windows at the ends of teach wing and by the dark painted wooden window heads and sills..."
