Intentional Excess: the Frank Mansion’s Deliberate Design as a Path to Prosperity
Built in 1889, the Gilded Age mansion that currently houses the G.W. Frank Museum of History and Culture is an extraordinary tribute to strategic architectural design. Opulent details throughout the house did not just reflect the Frank family’s wealth and success. Design details were deliberately chosen and literally helped the Franks build a business empire. Frank Museum Director April White will discuss how deliberate design choices cleverly added to the Frank’s success in the Kearney area.
