Thc OmahaRail and CommerccHistoric Distict is locatedin tbe southcastcomer of downtownOnraha, Ncbraska boundcd roughly by thc railroad tracks,9th, Jackson,and l5th Stects with the southcaspo6on sscnding southto Pacific St€ct. This areain dovmtownOrraha is anangedin a grid patern. The disnict is approxinatcly ninctecnblocks contei"ing builditrgsthat havc bccn prcdominantlyinfluenced by the railroad. Within this arcaare largejobbing warehousesas wcll as manufacnring buildings, transferand storagecompanies, and servicebusinesses. All ofthese were drawn to the area becauscofthc railroads,cithcr to utilizc the rail lines or to gain businessfrom the railroad trafric, and in tum influcnce thc induso'ialgrowth of Omaha. Severalbuildings in this arcaare also individually listed on the National Registerof Historic Places.These properties include Union Station,Burlington Station,thc BemisBag CompanyBuilding, thc Eggerss4Flyng Building, thc OmahaBolt, Nut and ScrcwBuilding, and the AnhcuserBusch Dcpot Ofticc. This large areaconains buildings with sorre modificationsto lower fagadesand window tratnens, but overall thc areamaintains a higb degrccof architecturalintcgrity and many buildingsrctain their architccturalchanctcristics. The buildings in the distict all havc similar scaleand massingand thc major enerior material is brick.

ARCHITECTTJR"E

The industrial, commcrcial,and warehousebuildings extant in the OmahaRail and CommcrccHistoric District are reprcscntativcstucnres oftheir typc for the latc ninerce,nthand carly twcnticth ccnories. The chieffirnetion of most ofthcsc buildings was for the storageofraw mat€rialsand associarcdspace for manufacturing,for providing spacefor the soragc and distribution of fnishcd products,or for the selling of goorlsor selices to the busincssesin thc arca In somecascs buildings servedall three functions-fastory, warehouse,and commcrcialdistibution. Thc intcndedusc ofthese buildings uldmatcly dictatedthcir form along srucnral and firnctional lines. SevcralqDcs ofbuilding consrnrctionare found in this district. Becauseofthe size and usesofihese propenics, someof thc earliestbuildings are constructcdof light wood poss urd joists witr load-bearingbrick waus. Later improvcmcns in consnrction techniguesallowcd for concrcteframc buildingswith brick qrtain walls. Tbe increased awarenessfor thc nccd of fire proof constructionhelpcd crcatethis modifrcation. Latcr changcsin constructiont?cbnique includedstcel Aamc constructionwith brick cunain walls. Thesebuildings havc simplefloor plans,usually rcctangularor squarein foogrinr Brick is thc nain type of exterior building natcrial found in the arca. Bccauseofthe utilitarian natureofthc buildings, architccturalstyles also vary within the disda. One ofthc more commonqpes is the ltalianarcsf,yle. During thc late Dinetecnthcentury, the commcrcialltalianarr sryle bccamepopular in the businessdiscicts of citics. Thc sryle is signified in part by archcdwindows anddentil moldings. Othcr stylcs found in the areaincludc RichardsonianRomsnesque, ttalian Renaissancc,Commercial, An Deco, and An Modcmc. The majority of lhe buildings, howevcr,wcre not construcledin high-style architccturebut, irstea{ in variationsoftbese styles. Many of rhe buildings contain decorativcclcNngnts on at leastone fagade. This omamentationincludes corbclling, rustication, string courses,and pilastcn. The buildings within this distict havemaintained a high degreeof intcgrity. Although mury of thc buildinp havc beenaltcrcd somewhat,much ofthcir original fabric and chanctcr rcmains. Thc brick facadesfound on most ofthe buildinp rctain thcir original appearance,though somcoftlrc stcct lcvcl fagadcshavc bccn altcrcd. The Dain changcsto the buildings are found in window trcaunens.

Thescarchitects have all played an imponant role in the architecturaldevclopment ofOmah4 and some,including Thomas Kimball and Gilbcrt S. Underwood havealso beensignificant in the architecturaldcvelopment ofthe United Statcs. Although Gilben S. Underwoodin not an Omahaarchitect, his An Deco designofthe OmahaUnion Pacific PassengcrTerminal hasbecome one of the most noted of designsfor rain tenninals itr thc United States. Also importantto nationalarchitecture is Omahaarchitcct Thomas R. Kimball, designerofthc Paxton& Gallagherand McCord Brady buildings. His designsfor buildings can be found throughoutthe United States.The majoriry ofthe architectswho worked in this distict, however, are most commonly known for their work in the Ornahaare4 primarily in the designofwarehouse proPerties. Many ofthese architectsalso designedbuildings in the Old Market National RegisterHistoric District. within the OmahaRail and CommerceHistoric District is SouthThifleenth Srreet. This strcethas historically bccn wider than the other streetswithin the disnict becauseSouth Thineenth Sneetwas the main thoroughfareto SouthOmaha. Being the main connecdonbetween the two cities the road was con$-uctcdwider than the othersand severalofthe maior indusuiesbuilt alongthe steet. The OmahaRail and CommerceHistoric District containsseveral propenies that bavehistorically beenvacanL l30l JonesSueet was vacant during the districfsperiod ofsignificancc. The lot 2 ofblock 173directly east ofthe Skinner Building was also vacantduring the disrict's period of significance. lt was ownedby the Skinnercompany in hopesof expandingtheir building; this neveroccurrcd. The vacantpropeny southofthe Buttemutwarehouses and the Parlin, Orendofi, and Manin warehousewas mile one of the original Eanscontinentalrailroad. Although the rack havc becn removed,the shapesofthe buildingsreflect tbe existenceof rail lines. Much ofthe vacantproperty has been owned by the variousrailroads and the land was occupiedby their tack. Many ofthe rack arenon-extant, but the shapcsofthe various buildings were influencedby the rails, which is panicularly evident in the areabetween Union Sution and Burlingon Station. Althougb the majority havc bccn rcmovcd, several Eacksare still usedby the railroads. The growth and physical appearanceofthe areaincluded in the OmahaRail and CommerceHistoric Disrict has beenshaped by the railroads. Visually thc district is divided by the l0th StreetViaduct which spansthc railroad tracksalong the southernedge ofthe district. The majority of thc OmahaRail and CommerceHistoric District is locatedwest of the loth StrectViaduct, but it providesa uniling force connectingthe southemwing with the remainderofthe district. The viaduct was formally detcrminedeligible for listingon theNational Register of HistoricPlaces by theNational Park Service on Junel?, 1993.

E.Statement of Signilicance

The OmahaRail and CommerceHistoric District is significant to the commercialdevelopment of Omaha. tt k rclated to the importanceofthc railroad in overlandtrade panicularly during the period betweenIEET and 1945. During this time the ovcrlandEade industry flourished and the buildingswithin the district wereconstnlcted. Situatedalong the main line ofthe original transcontinentalrailroa4 this district harborsthe large scalewarehouses needed for the jobbing trade,as well as manufacturingwarehouses, and serviceoriented properties. The jobbing tradewas a new type of commerceduring the late nincteenthard early twentieth centuries.The wholcsalejobberwould purchasegood direcdy from the manufacturerand sell the goodsto small businessesthrough thc traveling salcsman.These businesses utilized the railroad tinesthat once traverscd the district. Eligible for the National Registerat the local level undercriterion A, the indusrial, commercial,and warchouse buildings extant in the distict are historically significant becauseoftheir importanceto the developmentofthe commercial and indusrial economyofthe ciry ofOmaha during the late nineteenrhand earlytwentieth centuries.

EISTORY

Completedin 1869,thc u"anscontinentalrailroad provided a foundationfor the establishmentoftradc in downtown Omaha. Under thc Enabling Act of July 1862,Omaha was chosenby PresidentLincoln asthe eastemterminus for the Eanscontinentalrailroad of the Union Pacific Railroadr Omabawas chosenbecause of is location on thc Missouri River which is locatedonly nine blocks eastofthe OmahaRail and CommcrceHistoric District. Becausea rail line had not yet beencomplete across Iow4 the only meansoftansportation to the railroad wasvia the river at Omaha- Both its location as ihe eastemterminus on the Union Pacific line and as a primary river pon hclpedOmaha to develop its strong commercial t'dde.': After the Missouri River Railroadbridge was completedin 1872,Omaha began to develop industry along the rail lines in the southernsection of downtown.Replacing the single family housesthat first occupiedthe land, the warehouses andretated buildings associatedwith the railroad industry soon coveredthe entirearea surrounding &e railroad tracks. The areanorth ofthe railroad tracksdeveloped into a large scalecommercial and warehouse area used primarily for 6e wholesalejobbing rade.

Although Omahas commerceexperienced a severcsetback during the depressionofrhe 1890's,the tum ofthe ccntury broughta tremendousresurgcnce in the economy. The succcssful1898 Trans-Mississippi Exposition hclped to convinceOmahans that the depressionwas over. The Union Pacific Railroa4 which went into receivcnhip during thc Cepression,regained control of is branch lines. The Union Pacific also improvedroadbeds and acquircdmore powerful locomotivesfor incrcasedhauling capacities.6 The post-1900economic boon and the accompanyingneed for warchousespace rcsulted in a flourish of consruction after the ttm ofthc century.

The Intcmational HarvesterCompany took up residenceherc in 1924and is still one ofthc largestmanufacturers ofagricultural implemens in the country. Agricultural implementsw€rc importanttade goodsin N€brask4 as agriculnfe was and still is a leadingeconomic source for the state. Its location in the "com belt" provided Omahawith a market for €ricultual produc6. Severalbrcwing companiesalso locarcdtheir warehousesin the arca- The A.nheuser-BuschBeer Depot (1215 Joncs),a St Louis, Missouri company,was establishedat its location in 1887. Two becr warehouseswerc built along L€avenwonhStreet -thc Franz Faulk Brewing Company (1307 Leavenworth)in 1886,and the JohnGund Brewing Company(1324 Leavenworth)in 1909. Becauseofprohibition in 1916,these companies were shon-livedventures, but their original buildings sewedas warehousesfor other companiesin the areaand are still being usedtoday. Although few wholesalerswere also manufacnren, severalmanufacturing companies existed in this distict. SkinnerManufacturing at 1323Jackson (1914), Bemis Bag Company at ll14Jones (1887),Eggens-O'Flyng Company at 801S. l5th (1902),P*er PanBakery at I123 Jackson(1917), and Fairmont Foods at 1202Jones (1917) werc all locatedin the are4 and were largeenterprises. Skinner Manufacturing dealt primarily in macaroniand ga.in productsand was the leadingmanufacturer of macaroniproducs in the world. Both PeterPan Bakery and Fairmoni Foodsspecialized in manufacturingof food productsnamcly breadsand dairy producs. Although Fairmont Foodswas one of thc largcst crearneriesin Omah4 other creameriesalso existedin this areaincluding David Cole Creamery(1401 Jones). Although the SouthOmaha Stockyards were growing at a rapid rate,packing companies, including Cudahy PackingCompany (1321 Jones)and A. Booth Fisheries(1308 Leavenworth)also usedthis areafor their warehouses.Bodr Eggens-O'Flyngand Bemis Bag Companyproduced packaging products, bags and boxes,and were two ofthe largestcompanies oftheir kind. The WatsonBrothers Transportation Company (1402 Leavenworth)specialized in the oznsportationofgoods. The businessbegan in 1870and continuedthrough the 1950's. The companyexpanded with the railroad andprovided their customerswith convenienttransportation. By l89l the OmahaMerchant's Express Transfer Company (802 S. l4th) moved ilto the disrict creatingcompetition for the WatsonBrothers, although Watson Brothers eventually took ovcr the Omaha Merchant'sExpress Transfer Company. The prosperityofthc areacontibuted to the incnrasingnumbers ofcompeting busincsses. Serviceoriented businesses also senledin the area.

Plumben, liveries an4 later, autogarages can also be found in the arca- Thesewerc mainly built to provide sewicesfor the railroadsand railroad personnel. J.J.Hanigben Plumbing (617 S. l4th) was one suchservice business. His businessbegan in l9l2 and was the only plumbing companyin the area. Other important sewiceswhose buildings arc extantinclude Western Newspaper Union (621 S. l5th), McCordBrady Garages (810 S. l3th) andRailway Exprcss Sewice Garage( l0l5 Mason). The nilroad companiesalso saw the importanceofgrowdr in the areaand many importantrailroad structurcswere built in the area.

Wholesalejobbing in Omahadepended on the nilroad and this is evidentby thc numberrail lincs found throughoutthe disrid Although the majority ofthe companiesare no longeractive, their warehousesare extantand many are still being usedtoday by other compades. Omahawas one of the frst towns to benefit from the Union Pacific Raitroad.e Becauseof ib location.businesses locatedin St. Louis and Chicagoopened branch offices in Omaha. Thesccompanies include: Anheuser-Busch(1887); Parlin, Orendorff, and Manin (1906); IntemationalHarvester (1924). Thesebranch offices reducedtransportation costs for tbc companiesand increasedtheir profiE. They also helpedto improve the economyof Omaha" Unlike somecities, Omaha'sfinancial successdid not comc from the manufacturingofgoods, but rather it camefrom the tansponation of goods.roA vital centerfor the major railroadsofthe United States,Omaha specialized in thejobbing industry,creating a much more profitable incomethan manufacturing.rrThe large warehousesextant in the disrict arethe bestrepresentative structuresofthis prosperousperiod in the history of Omaha'seconomy. As the city moved into the twentiethcentury ,the trade in the areaof the OmahaRail and CommerceHistoric Disrict increased.New businesseswere formedand old businessesexpanded. The early halfofthe twentiethcentury was a prosperousera for rade in Omaha. Although the country experienccdtwo major depressions,during the 1890'sand the I930's, Omahaand its railroad industrysurvived and the city flourished The largestbuilding boom in the city occurrcd during the first two decadesofthe twentiethcantury, but growth continuedthrougb the early 1940's. After 1945trade within hc commercialdowntown of Omahabegan to decline.The movement of peopleto westOmaha and the gowth of the lrcking indusry helpedcause the downtownarea to decline. The OmahaRail and ComrnerceHistoric District is the best remainingexample of thetypes of buildingsassociated with makingOmaha the trading center that it wasbetween 1887 and 1945. The OmahaRail and CommerceHistoric District is the bestrepresenutive district ofcommerciaVindustrial in Omaha. Someofthe buildingshave been altere4 the majority ofthe "trarehouses but changesarc cosmetic. The scale andmassing of the buildings as well as the original fenestation are visible on the buildings. Many of the strees in the area areconstucted ofthe original cobblestonesand visible rail spun are found throughoutthe OmahaRail and Commerce Historic District. The appearanceofthe arcahas changed li$le. Someofthe buildings have beentorn down, but the entire district maintainsa senseofuniry. The rail linesprovide the most definedsense ofunity o the entire district The targenil yards at the southernedge ofthe district area visible reminderofthe importanceofthe railroad to the city ofOmaha. The right-of-way for the original transcontinentalrailroad is visible irnmediatelysouth ofthe PaxtonGallagher buildings. The transcontinentalrailroad was vital to the developmentofthis areaas a commercialcenter for Omahaas is cvidcnt by the numberofbuildings built along the right-of-way. SouthThineenth Street is one ofthe widest streetsin the disricr !{istorically this streetwas the main connectionbetween the cities of Omahaand SouthOmaha- Althougb wider than other fieeB, South Thirteenth hashistorically beenwider, bccauseit handleda much larger amountof traffic than the other streeB. The railroadplayed an imponantrole in thecommercial and economic development ofOmaha- Nebraskas role in constructionofthe transcontinentalrailroad orovided a naturalmeans for the develoomentofOmaha as a centerof commerce"he and fade in the state.
