The building was constructed in 1910 as North Presbyterian Church and served its original purpose for decades. In 1954, it merged with another congregation and took on the name Calvin Memorial Presbyterian Church.
The congregation served as a center for civil rights activism, with its pastor guiding members toward meaningful social action. Visitors can sense today how this place remains connected to the neighborhood's history of community involvement.
The church is visible from the street and located in an accessible area of North Omaha. Visitors should note that the interior is not currently open for visits, as renovation projects are underway to prepare it for future community use.
The building's design drew inspiration from a major exposition that once occupied this same location and shaped regional architecture. This influence is evident in the classical refinement and balanced proportions of the structure.
