Galleher in Moderne style. It is designated Nebraska historic resource RO01-041 and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2006.
It was deemed significant for its association with business in Bassett and for its architecture. It was built as a hotel and cafe to serve cattle buyers at the Bassett Livestock Auction, which attracted buyers nationwide. It was built around a 1925-26-built hotel building; the 1949-51 construction added Streamline Moderne lines. As of the date of NRHP nomination, the building was very well preserved.[1]
