"Located
in Grand Island, the Lee Huff Apartment Complex is an excellent example of a
multiple-dwelling complex that incorporates both an apartment building
(constructed in 1928) and two flats (constructed in 1920-21). Apartment
buildings and flats were popular forms of multi-family housing during the early
twentieth century. These apartments/flats were ubiquitous property types in
large urban centers such as Omaha (pop. 191,600 - 1920 and 214,000 - 1930), but
rare for a community the size of Grand Island (pop. 14,000 - 1920 and 18,000 -
1930) in the 1920s." ~ Nebraska State Historical Society website
