Anheuser-Busch Beer Depot, commercial building in Omaha, Nebraska
The Anheuser-Busch Beer Depot is a historic warehouse from the late 1800s in downtown Omaha that was used for storing and shipping beer. The building features thick red brick walls, large sturdy doors, and rounded windows typical of Romanesque Revival style.
The depot was designed by local architect Henry Voss in the late 1800s and was part of the Krug Brewery, one of the city's major brewing operations. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1979 to preserve its importance to Omaha's industrial and commercial past.
The building carries the name of the Anheuser-Busch company, which made and distributed beer throughout the region. It shows how central the brewing industry was to Omaha's growth and to the daily work of many residents.
The building is located in downtown Omaha and is easy to spot from the street as you walk around the neighborhood. It is a good stop for anyone interested in local history and older architecture.
The depot originally had a stable for horses and carriages plus an ice house where blocks of ice were stored to keep beer cold. These features show how the building supported the brewery operation before modern refrigeration equipment became available.
