GRAND ISLAND, Neb.-- A home on the National Register of Historic Places is under renovation, adding a household necessity.

Home builders from across the state are working on a summer kitchen at the Stolley Park House in Grand Island.

The house, located in Stolley Park, is a cabin that was built by William Stolley in 1859. It holds significance because Stolley was one of the first settlers in the Central Platte Valley of Nebraska territory.

The kitchen that is being added will be fully functional by the end of construction with appliances and staff.

The materials will continue to fit the rustic theme of Stolley House with historical lumber dimensions and shake shingles for reshingling the roof of the house and kitchen.

President of Central Nebraska Home Builders Association Tim Uhrich is leading the building team. He says he enjoys getting to work alongside his other chapters within the Association.

"It's been a lot of fun," said Uhrich. "Just the camaraderie of all the associations getting together is really fun."

Nebraska State Home Builders Association will be using this project as community outreach. Payment after completion will be going towards the lobbyists that assist in the home building industry in Nebraska.
