Hawley Bed & Breakfast - Cultra House, Lincoln, NE
Hawley Bed and Breakfast in the Cultra House

In 1892 our home was built as 2 townhomes and was completed in April 1893. The south home was occupied by the contractor, George Cultra, and family for about 10 years. The north side was rented to a professor at the University of Nebraska. Since then, it has always been a rental. In the 1930's the 2 homes were divided into 4 apartments and were rented until 2004 when we made all 4 apartments into a single family home. We have established the Hawley Bed and Breakfast in the Historic Cultra House.
