The McCarty-Lilley House is a historic two-story house in Bellevue, Nebraska. It was built as a one-story house in 1865 by Robert McCarty, a veteran of the Mexican–American War of 1846-1848 who fought in the Battle of Buena Vista and the Battle of Chapultepec.[2] He also served as a Democratic county commissioner for Sarpy Counter in 1857 and 1860.[2] The house was inherited by his granddaughter Susie in 1903, who lived here with her husband James Lilley and their ten children.[2] They added a second story and an attic in 1918.[2] The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978,[1] and was delisted in 2020.[3]
