Jacob M. Nachtigall (1874 – 1947)[1] was an American architect active in
Omaha and eastern
Nebraska. The surname is sometimes spelled Nachtigal. He designed numerous Catholic churches and other buildings in Nebraska. Nachtigall was born in Germany in about 1874 and came with his family to the U.S. in 1883. He apprenticed under
Thomas Rogers Kimball (one of few professional architects in the state at the time) during 1900–1908 and went independent in 1909.[2]
A number of his works survive and are listed on the U.S.
National Register of Historic Places.[3]
