Description: Wallace W. Waterman Sod House on rthe NRHP since February 17, 1995. On Day Rd., 9 miles north of Big Springs, Deuel County, Nebraska, roughly 10 miles west of the middle of nowhere. The house is not immediately identifiable as a sod house, since it is covered by stucco or cement. The thickness of the walls and a lack of definition in the corners, windows, etc. gives it away though. The stucco is cracked in a way that reveals blocks of something underneath. If this speculation is correct, then the sod blocks must have been at least 2 feet thick. Farm site is not lived in now, but across the street are modern storage facilities.
