At the end of the 19th century, Omaha was in its prime as a great railroad center, connecting the settled East with the wide-open West. The Old Market area was at the height of its splendor – bustling with produce dealers, buyers and transporters. The bustle continued until the 1950s when Omaha’s westward expansion and radical changes in grocery marketing abruptly brought the activity to a halt. That’s when Sam Mercer, threatened with building condemnation notices, proposed to rescue his family’s red brick warehouses by renovating them for new uses. Most people thought him imprudent. Today, they call him a visionary. Mercer’s role has been a delicate balance of making things happen and allowing things to evolve. Nonetheless, he was the first to admit that there never was a master plan for developing the Old Market. “We knew these warehouses had possibilities, and to tear them down to construct contemporary buildings would have been like painting over the Mona Lisa.” Change happens all the time, but it has to be the right kind of change. Preservation and maintenance of the architectural integrity of the buildings remains a guiding principle.
Old Market Historic Tour The Old Market is filled with sites and buildings of historic interest. Several of these have been specifically identified and researched. As a result, an Old Market Historic Walking Tour with identification plaques of these edifices began in 2003.
Anheuser-Busch Beer Depot, 1887 1213 Jones Street
Podcast Track 2
Omaha was a rich brew of immigrants, and many brought with them a well-developed taste for hops, which gave rise to a half-dozen local breweries in the late 19th century. In 1887, Anheuser-Busch of St. Louis built a distribution complex in Omaha, designed by Henry Voss in the Romanesque style. The existing office building is all that remains of four buildings, which also included a stable, the bottling department, and a combination beer vault and icehouse. The complex had a refrigeration capacity equivalent to 10 railcars of beer. The com-
pany employed 16 men and six teams of horses for deliveries. Prohibition capped the beer business in 1916, but later the complex housed the Industrial Chemical Supply Co. and a furniture-stripping firm. In the 1960s and 1970s, the office building was a private residence for several different individuals. In 1989, Alley Poyner Architecture renovated the interior as office space for its own business. In 1988, a finial over the west side of the doorway was toppled by wind and then stolen - it has never been recovered.
Baum Iron Company Building, 1880 1221 Harney Street
Podcast Track 3
This building has carried the Baum Iron name since the early 1900s. At one time that firm was the largest wholesaler of iron products in the Midwest, dealing in iron, steel, and heavy hardware, and doing business in Nebraska, Colorado, Wyoming, Utah, Idaho, Iowa, and Kansas. The cast iron storefront for the structure in the Italianate style was made in St. Louis and assembled on-site in Omaha in 1880. Originally three stories, the fourth floor was added in 1891. The original owners were Steele, Johnson and Co., wholesale grocers. After the addition of the fourth floor, the wholesale hardware and cutlery firm of Lee-ClarkeAndreesen used the building. After purchasing, Baum Iron Company occupied the property in 1905. David Allen, manager of Baum Iron, was a familiar sight in the downtown Omaha of the 1980s as he walked to work from his home at 37th and Dewey streets.
Omaha Bemis Bag Company, 1887-1902 614 South 11th Street
Podcast Track 4
A growing export trade in flour and accessible railways attracted the J.M. Bemis and Company, bag manufacturers, to Omaha in 1887. The business had its start a quarter century earlier in St. Louis when bags became a thrifty alternate choice over boxes and wooden barrels.
By 1900, Bemis Bag’s six factories made it the largest bag manufacturer in the world. Local architects Louis Mendelssohn and Harry Lawrie chose the Commercial style developed in Chicago in the 1880s for the Omaha plant. Construction by Harte and Lindsay was accomplished in three phases from 1887 to 1902. The original five stories fronted only 66 feet on 11th Street. A three-story building was added to the west in 1897, and the factory complex was completed with the addition of six stories to the south in 1902. In 1977, Bemis Bag moved and gave the site to the City. In 1983, it was sold to the Mercer family, and converted to living spaces for the Bemis Project, a not-for-profit artists’ colony. A 1999 fire severely damaged the original building.
Burlington Building, 1879 1004 Farnam Street
Podcast Track 5
The initial “B” identifies this as the headquarters for the Burlington and Missouri River Railroad, which occupied the upper floors upon completion in 1879 of the original building designed by A.R. Dufrene. Nave, McCord & Brady, wholesale grocers, occupied the first floor. In 1885, a fourth floor and a 22-foot front addition to the west were completed. Then in 1899, a local architect, Thomas Kimball, was hired to remodel the structure to resemble the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railroad Building, a Chicago showplace. He replaced the original cast iron façade with brick and stone trim, tearing out the center of the building to add a skylighted interior courtyard, ornate ironwork, an elevator, and a floor of octagonal glass bricks, which allowed light into the basement. Each floor had fireproof and burglarproof vaults and several fireplaces. In 1966, the Burlington Railroad left the building and sold it to the City. It was then unused until 1983, when it was restored for office space, becoming one of the first successful renovations of a 19th century building in Omaha.
Hotel Howard, 1909 1002 Howard Street
Podcast Track 6
The Hotel Howard was constructed in the Classical Revival style in 1909, shortly after the death of Samuel D. Mercer, owner of many buildings in the area, and the patriarch of the family that later was instrumental in establishing the Old Market Historic District in Omaha. From its beginnings, the Hotel benefited from the flourishing produce trade and the proximity to trains and wholesale businesses. Early in the morning, produce was piled on the sidewalks in the area, and peddlers would come to load their wagons with a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables. During Prohibition, people bought hops to make their own home brew. The Howard served as a hotel until 1969, when the area was just beginning to show signs of revival as a tourist attraction. In 1970, the ground floor became one of the Old Market’s earliest entertainment venues when Mr. Toad, an indoor-outdoor pub was opened. The name “Mr. Toad” came from a character in the English book, The Wind in the Willows. Later the Mercer family restored the upper floors for living spaces.
J. P. Cooke Buildings, 1885-1889 1307-1315 Howard Street
Podcast Track 7
Omaha’s first municipal swimming pool, “The New Natatorium,” originated in the basement of the westernmost of these three buildings, and vestiges of it can still be seen there. The ornamental work at the building’s top announces that E. Homan Thayer constructed it in 1889. The cast iron façade is considered a classic, and the immense windows suggest the then-contemporary development of the curtain wall and skyscraper in Chicago. Skinner Manufacturing’s first plant was located here briefly in 1911-12, and later it was home to Peterson Litho & Printing Co. In the early 1960s, J. P. Cooke & Co., makers of a variety of rubber and metal stamps, moved here. It succeeded the Cooke Time Stamp Company, founded in Omaha in 1887. The construction of the properties abutting to the east was begun about 1885. The notable occupant of these buildings was Tribune Publishing, which printed the Daily Tribune, at one time the only German-language daily in the West. It was one of the few German papers that survived the harsh feelings occasioned by Germany’s participation in World War I.
Millard Block, 1880-1881 1101-1107 Harney Street
Podcast Track 8
Omaha capitalist Ezra Millard, a former mayor of Omaha and the man for whom a western suburb was named, erected the four-story Millard Block in 1880-81. The first tenants were Tootle, Maul & Co., wholesale dry goods; Reed, Jones & Co., boots and shoes; and W. L. Parrotte & Co., hats and caps. But by the beginning of the 20th century, the busy factory of the F. P. Kirkendall Boot Company was established here. It was once the world’s largest producer of riding boots, supplying them to such prestigious customers as King Gustav V of Sweden and Emperor Yoshohito of Japan, as well as working cowboys everywhere. On the
night of January 28, 1905, a fire gutted the interior of the building, but left standing the sturdy walls, which are 30 inches thick at the base. The interior was then rebuilt and a fifth floor added to the building, enabling the Kirkendall Boot Co. factory to stay another 50 years. In 1995, Rubin Distributing Co. left the building to make way for new upscale apartments and Austin’s, a regional steakhouse chain, which has been replaced by Famous Dave’s.
Morse Coe Building, 1892-1893 1123 Howard Street
Podcast Track 9
Architects Findley and Shields designed this five-story brick, building, built in 1892-93 for $40,000. Footwear wholesalers W.V. Morse & Co. and Charles A. Coe and Company combined to manufacture a thousand shoes daily here, with sales focused on the western half of the country. By 1900, Morse had taken over the business and used the first three floors for its wholesale boot business and rented the upper floors to the Byrne and Hammer Dry Goods Company for the manufacture of textiles. Throughout the years, the upper levels served as warehouse space for several wholesale commodities, including coffee, groceries, and draperies. Manufacturers and wholesalers occupied the lower levels, among them Brady-Lewis Manufacturing Co., the maker of Oma-alls. They were also producers of furniture, window shades, and veterinary supplies. In the 1950s, Mayfair Textiles, a wholesale distributor of fabrics, became associated with the building, later expanding to showcase a retail business on the lower levels. When that business moved west in 1999, the building was redesigned for luxury apartments, preserving the historic integrity of the structure, including the original fire escape.
Omaha Firehouse, 1903-1904 514 South 11th Street
Podcast Track 10
In 1903, George Fisher and Harry Lawrie designed Fire Substation No. 1 in the then-popular Chateauesque style. The gabled third floor gave the building the look of a French chateau. On April 9, 1917, firefighters were sunning themselves out front when a bystander rushed to tell them that their building was on fire. The two-alarm fire destroyed the third floor, which housed the hayloft for the horse-drawn engines. The top of the building was removed, and it was remodeled with a new maintenance facility called a “fire shop.� It continued to operate as a firehouse until lack of manpower during World War II forced it to close. In 1972, the building was reopened with applause as the Firehouse Dinner Theater, and live shows were staged there until 1991. In 1996, architect David Erickson converted the firehouse into a restaurant and microbrewery, the Upstream Brewing Co., with the original 1903 cornerstone as an interior showpiece. The patio on the east side of the building became home to a stone trough that once treated thirsty horses and dogs at Capitol Avenue and 17th Street.
Skinner Macaroni Building, 1914-1915 1323 Jackson Street
Podcast Track 11
Increasing business led the Skinner Manufacturing Company to build this six-story brick building in 1914. Designed by architect Harry Lawrie, it was doubled in size with the addition of 66 feet to the east a year later. The new building was Skinner’s third plant. Brothers Paul F. and Lloyd M. Skinner, who used national advertising as early as 1912, founded it in 1911. Skinner was a leading manufacturer of macaroni and cereal products. Omaha was close to the durum wheat supply, the only wheat that can be used for a top-quality product. Skinner conserved wheat during World War I by originating Kornroni, an economical macaroni product made from corn and wheat. In 1925, it developed Raisin Bran to supplement revenues, and in 1927, it introduced Cheesroni, one of the first macaroni and cheese products. Skinner moved to a new Omaha plant in 1961, and Commercial Optical Company occupied the building soon after. In 1996, Emil Vohoska completed 74 new living spaces here, transforming the building into the Macaroni Apartments.
Union Station, 1931 801 South 10th Street
Podcast Track 12
Forty thousand people came on January 15, 1931, for the dedication of Omaha’s Union Station, which had been designed in the Art Deco style to express “the distinctive character of the railroad – strength, power, masculinity.” Designed by Gilbert Stanley Underwood, a chief consulting architect for Union Pacific Railroad and later the National Park Service, the Omaha station was considered among his largest and most visible railroad projects. The station reached its peak of service during World War II, when as many as 64 passenger trains carrying 10,000 soldiers and civilians passed through the station each day. Passenger service declined through the 1950s and 1960s, and Union Station closed its doors in the spring of 1971. Union Pacific briefly considered demolishing Union Station before donating the building to the City of Omaha in 1973. That same year, the Western Heritage Society was formed to preserve the building and to establish a museum for the community. Today, Union Station is home to The Durham Museum, featuring first-class exhibits that preserve our region’s history and traveling exhibits that cover subjects ranging from history and culture to science and industry.
Windsor Hotel, 1885-1887 520-24 South 10th Street
Podcast Track 13
The Windsor Hotel, designed in the Italianate style, was constructed in two phases - the east wing was completed in 1885, and an addition to the west was finished by 1887. It was designed to be a workingman’s hotel, and with its proximity to both the Union and Burlington train stations, it became known as a railroader’s hotel. Railroad passengers stopped at its restaurant and bar during layovers. The Windsor overlooked the stalls of the noisy open-air Public Market to its west from 1903 until the Market folded in 1964. Renamed the Windsor Inn,
it was the last hotel in operation in the Old Market when it closed on June 30, 1979. In 1985, Emil Vohoska and Pete Drake completed their renovation of the building as the Windsor Square Apartments. Nearly a decade later, Vohoska memorialized his grandson, Sam Zmolek, by adding the “Lion Fountain” to the south side of the building. Fouryear-old Sam had died of leukemia in 1994. In that year, the Windsor became next-door neighbor to the revived “Farmers Market” during summer weekends.
The Overland Hotel 1218 Howard Street
Podcast Track 14
The Overland Hotel originally was a two-story building, with the main floor in 1889 occupied by P.J. Karbach & Sons, builder of carriages, donkey carts and wagons for vendors of Jobbers Canyon and early businesses. Workers from these businesses, and from the Union Pacific Railroad, occupied the upper level hotel rooms. Over the years the building housed numerous owners and uses. In 1903, a third level was added for more hotel rooms. Around 1934, the Barrel House Saloon occupied the main floor corner. Affordable Piano & Organ Company and the Nebraska Department of Labor came in the 1940s. The two top floors remained a hotel until present. Randy Ashley, the current owner of this historically significant hotel and building, has renovated the main floor and exposed a beautiful staircase that now is part of one of Omaha’s largest gift and collectibles stores.
Poppleton Block 1001 Farnam Street
The three_story Italianate Poppleton Block was constructed in 1880 for a prominent Omaha attorney, Andrew Jackson Poppleton, who was the second Mayor of the City of Omaha. His most famous case was the defense of Standing Bear, the Ponca Indian Chief who had been denied the rights of “a person under the law.” The case set the legal precedent of granting Native American Indians the status “as being treated as persons under the law.” The building was in the forefront of a trend toward new construction and changed land use in that section
of Downtown Omaha. The Poppleton Block is significant as a fine example of the High Victorian Italianate style of architecture popular in the Midwest during the latter part of the 19th century. This style was considered to be the practical commercial style of the day. The major elements of High Victorian Italianate found in the 1880 Poppleton Block are the broadly projecting cornice supported by brackets, the vertical emphasis displayed in the three bays of the facade, the stilted segmental arches of the third story windows and the sharp, angular cast iron details. The Poppleton block was known as the “most elegant and commodious building in the City of Omaha.” The building is home to the Omaha Convention and Visitors Bureau.
Aquila Court 1615 Howard St
Built in 1923, the Aquila Court building was designed by the architectural firm Holabird & Roche and built by Chicago financier Chester Cook. The building was named to honor Chester’s grandfather, and the faces of George and Aquila Cook are featured on the front of the building. The large, U-shaped structure is constructed of Bedford limestone and contains Tennessee marble floors and a Brazilian cherry wood lobby. The building design was based on the Bargello, a palace in Florence, Italy. The Aquila Court served as a mixed-use building, offering office and retail space and studio apartments. In 1974, it was named to the National Register of Historic Places. In 2006, Magnolia Hotels purchased Aquila Court and began renovating the property. Today, Magnolia Hotel Omaha is a 145-room boutique hotel with 20 suites and a spacious presidential suite. The hotel also boasts an outdoor courtyard and an ultra-chic lounge and bar. Both leisure and corporate travelers frequent the hotel, which also hosts many wedding celebrations.

The Old Market It’s the metro’s favorite area for a casual or special night out—or a first date. The Old Market is also the site of many of Omaha’s oldest buildings. Its unique shops, restaurants, art and people make the Old Market a blend of the hip and the historic. The Old Market is evolving into a neighborhood center. The district has always had residents. Now, with its stylish loft condominiums, charming row houses, and luxurious town homes, the Old Market and surrounding downtown area’s continued vitality is assured. It’s also Nebraska’s No. 1 tourist attraction. Why? No big box or chain stores here. Every few steps alongside its brick streets bring another fabulous dining or shopping option. You can find art, gifts, décor, and handmade jewelry, all unique. No shopkeeper minds your browsing. A tip for the ladies: on the bricks, watch those heels. Walk on the balls of your feet or wear flats. We locals know that. Take it from us. The Old Market . . . Omaha’s Crown Jewel!
Parking & Transportation Don’t hesitate to come to the Old Market because of parking. The Old Market offers free meters after 5 p.m. and on weekends, covered parking in area garages, several area lots, and valet parking for hotel guests. So, don’t let parking prevent you from coming to the Old Market. It’s an atmosphere you can’t find anywhere else. In addition, most hotels offer shuttle service to the Old Market.

Attractions & Entertainment Many of Omaha’s finest attractions are in close proximity to the Old Market. The Durham Museum, Lauritzen Gardens, Joslyn Art Museum, The Rose Theater, Omaha Children’s Museum, Orpheum Theater, Henry Doorly Zoo, Holland Performing Arts Center, and Heartland of America Park with its colorful fountains.

Shopping Don’t get caught buying something at your connecting airport. Shopping in the Old Market is a fun, relaxing, cultural experience. It’s nice to take a little walk after lunch or dinner. The Old Market is not a strenuous walk, just enough for a refreshing postmeal stroll. You can spend as little or as much as you want. Many times it’s a one-of-a-kind find. It’s not just a Midwestern market. You’ll experience dozens of exotic cultures. The Midwestern items do, however, prove you were actually here.
