Georgian Place Apartments
139 N. 11th Street, #1004

In 1982, the YMCA called the Arter Group to examine options, and to create possible solutions, in response to growing losses from their hotel operation. The decision was made to convert the former Capital Hotel, built in 1926, into a condominium property, with the Y retaining portions of the lower three floors for use with their adjacent fitness facilities. All of the space on the upper floors was gutted, except for the structural elements, and completely renovated in accordance with historical guidelines, creating high quality "new" housing in downtown Lincoln for the first time in over a decade. The certified historic renovation was completed in 1983, when the building was also listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
