The William Brach House is a historic house in Hastings, Nebraska. It was built in 1884 for William Brach, his wife Charlotte and their two sons, and designed in the Queen Anne architectural style.[2] Brach was a German immigrant and Freemason who settled in Hastings and worked as the manager of a dry goods store called Wolfbach Brothers founded by some of his relatives; and he became its president when it changed its name to Wolbach & Brach in 1907.[2] Brach was also a civic and political leader in Hastings, where he served on the board of aldermen in 1892.[2] The house was purchased and redesigned in the Classical Revival style by Volney B. Trimble and his wife, Mary Blackman, in 1899.[2] Trimble worked as a grocer, and he served as a councilmember in 1922–1925.[2] The house has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since February 1, 1979.[1]
