The Nye House, also known as the Louis E. May Museum, is a historic building in Fremont, Nebraska. It was built in 1874 for Theron Nye, who lived here with his wife, née Caroline Colson, and their four children.[3]

History

Nye was a farmer and the founding president of the First National Bank of Fremont.[3] He designed the house in the Italianate style.[3] His son, Ray Nye, served as the first mayor of Fremont.[3] He hired Ferry & Clas to redesign the house in the Georgian Revival architectural style;[3] the remodel was accomplished during 1901-12.[2] From 1921 to 1968, it housed a Lutheran seminary known as the Western Theological Seminary.[3] It was later turned into the Louis E. May Museum.[3] It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since November 23, 1977.[1]
