Livestock Exchange Building, commercieel gebouw in de Verenigde Staten
The Livestock Exchange Building is an 11-story structure completed in 1926 with Renaissance Revival and Mediterranean Revival style details in southwest Omaha. Inside are residential apartments and ballrooms, along with spaces that once held offices, a bank, a bakery, a cafeteria, and various shops showing how this trading hub served many needs.
An earlier exchange building stood on this site from 1885 serving meatpacking offices. The current structure was built in 1926 to showcase Omaha's growing dominance in meat processing, when the city became one of the largest centers for this industry.
The building's name reflects the livestock trading that once defined daily life here and shaped Omaha's identity. Today this past is visible in the architecture and in how residents speak about their city's rapid rise.
The building stands in a quiet residential area of southwest Omaha and can be viewed from outside to see its architectural features. The ballrooms are available for events, so calling ahead makes sense if you want to arrange a closer look or attend an event inside.
The building was designed in 1926 by local architect George Prinz and proudly embodies the architecture of Omaha's founding era. A 2005 renovation breathed new life into the structure while preserving its historical character.
