''Fiske & Meginnis, Architects'' was an architecture firm started in 1915(-1924) by Ferdinand C. Fiske and Harry Meginnis in Lincoln, Nebraska that was responsible for twelve buildings on the National Register of Historic Places list. A significant number of historical buildings in Nebraska, particularly the Lincoln area, were designed by Fiske and/or Meginnis. Together, the two individual architects have forty-eight buildings on the National Register of Historic Places under various partnerships or on their own. Ferdinand C. Fiske was born in New York and raised in Iowa. He was educated at Cornell University and moved to Lincoln during the building boom of 1887 and practiced there the rest of his life. He was a founding partner of firms including Fiske & Dieman (1898-1912);〔University of Nebraska-Lincoln. “Fiske & Dieman.” Historic Buildings. UNL Libraries, 2005.

While they worked under many different styles, Fiske & Meginnis mostly worked within the English Revival realm (Elizabethan, Georgian, and Tudor among others) combined with the Prairie style that Frank Lloyd Wright was concerned with at the time. They were also involved in a significant number of industrial warehouse projects in Lincoln, namely in the Haymarket District. == Selected works == Reese House Located within the Mount Emerald and Capitol Additions District, the Reese House was designed by Fiske and Meginnis in 1907.〔Chatfield, Penelope & Kidd, Daniel. “National Register of Historic Places Nomination Form - Mount Emerald & Capitol Additions Historic Residential District.” Nebraska State Historical Society.
