DOWNTOWN OMAHA

Downtown Omaha


This 1920s bird's eye view of downtown Omaha looks southeast, with the intersection of 18th and Farnam partially visible. The old City Hall sits on the northeast corner of the intersection and the Douglas County Court House is located across the street to the south. Buildings seen further east on Farnam include: the New York Life Building on the northeast corner at 17th, the First National Bank Building on the southwest corner of 16th, and the Woodmen of the World Building on the southeast corner of 14th.
