Grand Central Hotel, Hotel building in downtown Omaha, United States
The Grand Central Hotel stood at the intersection of 14th and Farnam Streets, featuring limestone foundations, detailed lintels, and a mansard roof design.
Opening in 1873 after construction delays, the Grand Central Hotel positioned itself as the main accommodation between Chicago and San Francisco until its destruction in 1878.
The hotel contained imported chandeliers, mirrors, and multiple fireplaces, representing the Victorian era hospitality standards of the American Midwest.
The building's location in downtown Omaha made it a central point for travelers arriving by train and businesspeople conducting commerce in the growing city.
A fire caused by an unattended candle led to the deaths of five firefighters and prompted Omaha to transform its fire department from volunteer to professional status.
