Omaha Rail and Commerce Historic District
Omaha Rail and Commerce Historic District, Industrial historic district in downtown Omaha, United States.
The district spans nineteen blocks in southeast downtown Omaha, containing warehouses, manufacturing facilities, and railroad infrastructure built between 1887 and 1945.
The Union Pacific Railroad establishment transformed this area into a distribution center after the completion of the transcontinental railroad in 1869.
Architects Louis Mendelssohn, George Fisher, Harry Lawrie, and John Latenser Sr designed buildings that demonstrate the industrial architecture of the late nineteenth century.
The district extends across 74.3 acres between Jackson, 15th, and 8th Streets, with the 10th Street viaduct connecting different sections over railway tracks.
Several buildings, including the Bushman Warehouse from 1890 and the Burlington Station from 1898, now function as apartments and artist studios.
