Capt. John O'Rourke House

The Capt. John O'Rourke House, at 424 N 6th St. in Plattsmouth, Nebraska, was built in 1881. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2006.

It is a two-story Italianate house, upon a full basement. It has a hipped roof with a deck with decorative iron cresting at the top of the roof. It has also been known as the Dugan House.

It is also significant for association with Captain John O'Rourke, who was born in Limerick, Ireland in 1834. He served as Captain of the 11th Wisconsin Light Artillery Battery in the American Civil War.
