Old Post Office, Federal architecture at Dodge Street, Omaha, United States.
The Old Post Office featured a 190-foot clock tower with four-sided timepieces and pink granite walls topped by sandstone on upper floors.
Constructed between 1898 and 1906 under architect John Latenser Sr, the building cost two million dollars and initially operated as The Custom House.
The demolition of this structure in 1966 motivated citizens to establish preservation movements for protecting other historical buildings in downtown Omaha.
Four granite pieces from the original building remain on display at the Ethel C. Flannigan Memorial Architectural Garden for public viewing.
The building contained a 100-foot-square glass skylight above its central atrium, while copper roofing covered the remaining structure sections.
