9. Victorian Revival Residence - 402 Main Street
This corner house has undergone extensive changes but is the former home of Capt. Allen G. Fisher. His career as a lawyer and his participation in politics make for one of the most colorful stories of Chadron’s past.

The descendants of Capt. Fisher still live and work in Chadron, and the Fisher Law Office is in the building just to the south of the house. The houses on the east side of the 400 block of Main include examples of Chadron’s bungalow and Victorian styles.

10. 418 Main Street
This house represents the bungalow style (the term derived from the East Asian word “bangla,” referred to a low
house with porches surrounding it) and has a recessed porch on the sloping roof side, compared to the oft-used gable-end placement. This is a one and one-half story bungalow with twin windows in a shed roof dormer.

The bungalow style swept the Midwest from the 20’s to the 40’s; its popularity coming from its use in California.
Bungalows can be spotted by the roof line continuing uninterrupted over a recessed porch, either under the sloping roof or under the gable end.
