About this property

The Hub Building in Burwell, Nebraska, also known as the Burwell's Modern Cash Department Store, was built in 1906. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2006. It is a three-story building about 50 by 80 feet (15 m × 24 m) in plan with a full basement. Its walls are built of rusticated concrete which appears to be stone.
