The residence of John A. Creighton, located at 1710 Chicago Street in Omaha, Nebraska, can be seen in this black and white lantern slide. The two-story house with wooden siding has a cross-gabled roof and a chimney. A picket fence separates the house from the yard of the home next to it, a larger residence. There are many trees in the yards of both houses, and a sidewalk runs along the street in front of them.
