Historic Tour

LargE map on page 20

At the end of the 19th century, Omaha was in its prime as a major railroad center, connecting the settled East with the wideopen West. The Old Market area was at the height of its splendor — bustling with produce dealers, buyers, and transporters.

The bustle continued until the 1950s, when Omaha’s westward expansion and radical changes in grocery marketing abruptly brought the activity to a halt. That’s when Sam Mercer, threatened with building condemnation notices, proposed to rescue his family’s red-brick warehouses by renovating them for new uses. Most people thought him imprudent. Today, they call him a visionary.

Mercer’s role was a delicate balance between making things happen and allowing things to evolve. Nonetheless, he was the first to admit that there never was a master plan for developing the Old Market. “We knew these warehouses had possibilities, and to tear them down to construct contemporary buildings would have been like painting over the Mona Lisa,” Mercer insisted. Though Mercer passed away in February 2013, his legacy in the Old Market lives on. Preservation and maintenance of the architectural integrity of the buildings remains a guiding principle.

Sam Mercer: the Old Market’s Godfather

Adapted from an article

by Leo Adam Biga

The son of prominent Omaha physician and landowner Nelson Mercer, Samuel Mercer was born and raised in London, England, and educated at Oxford and Yale. After living in Washington, D.C., he based his law practice in Paris, where he mostly lived the rest of his life, holding dual citizenship.

In Paris, Mercer cultivated relationships with avant garde artists.

Artist Eva Aeppli was his second wife. On his handful of trips to Omaha each year, Mercer cut an indelible figure with his shoulderlength gray hair, his trans-Atlantic accent, and his waxing on far-ranging subjects. He spoke perfect French.

old market Sam Mercer, 1920-2013 Photo by Vera Mercer

With the death of his father in 1963, Mercer took charge of the Mercer Management Company in Omaha. He appreciated the century-old brick warehouses — some Mercer-owned — comprising the wholesale produce market just southeast of downtown.

By 1968, Mercer moved strategically to gain control of a collection of buildings in what is now the Old Market. It was Mercer’s idea to make the ground-floor space of the former Gilinsky Fruit Company into a French restaurant. It became the Old Market’s signature spot, the French Café, with apartments above it.

More anchor attractions followed — Homer’s, M’s Pub, Mr. Toad, the Spaghetti Works, Nouvelle Eve, the Firehouse Dinner Theater, the Bemis. With his son Mark, daughter-in-law Vera, and nephew Nicholas Bonham-Carter, the Mercers evolved this never-planned but organically developed area. Distinct features to this day include The Passageway, V Mertz, La Buvette, and The Boiler Room.

Sam Mercer viewed the Old Market as an evolving social experiment and art project aligned. He passed away Feb. 5, 2013, at his home in Honfleur, France. He was 92.

Old Market Historic Tour

The Old Market is filled with historic sites and buildings. Several of these have been specifically identified and researched. As a result, an Old Market Historic Walking Tour, with plaques identifying points of interest, was created in 2003.

H1

Anheuser-Busch Beer Depot, 1887 Now: The New BLK Ad Agency & Art Gallery 1213 Jones Street

Omaha was a rich brew of immigrants. With them came a thirst for beer. To satisfy the booming demand, six breweries were started in Omaha in the late 19th century. In 1887, Anheuser-Busch of St. Louis built a distribution complex in Omaha, designed by Henry Voss in the Romanesque style. The existing office building is all that remains of four buildings, which also included a stable, the bottling department, and a combination beer vault and icehouse. Prohibition capped the beer business. Later the complex housed a chemical supply company and a furniture-stripping firm. In 1989, Alley Poyner Architecture renovated the interior as office space for its own business. In 1988, a finial over the west side of the doorway was toppled by wind and then stolen—it has never been recovered.

H2

Baum Iron Company Building, 1880 Now: Baum Hydraulics Co. 1221 Harney Street

This building has carried the Baum Iron name since the early 1900s. At one time, the firm was the largest wholesaler of iron products in the Midwest, dealing in iron, steel, and heavy hardware. The cast-iron storefront for the structure in the Italianate style was made in St. Louis and assembled on-site in Omaha in 1880. Originally three stories, the fourth floor was added in 1891.

H3

Omaha Bemis Bag Company, 1887 to 1902 Now: Blue Barn Theatre 614 South 11th Street

A growing export trade in flour attracted the bag manufacturer, J.M. Bemis and Company, to Omaha in 1887. The business had its start a quarter century earlier in St. Louis when bags became a thrifty alternate choice to boxes and wooden barrels.

By 1900, Bemis Bag was the largest bag manufacturer in the world. Local architects Louis Mendelssohn and Harry Lawrie chose the Commercial style developed in Chicago in the 1880s for the Omaha plant. A three-story building was added to the west in 1897, and the factory complex was completed with the addition of six stories to the south in 1902. In 1977, Bemis Bag moved and gave the site to the City.

In 1983, the building was sold to the Mercer family and converted to living spaces for the Bemis Project, a not-for-profit artists’ colony. A 1999 fire severely damaged the original building.

Burlington Building, 1879 Now: Commercial office space 1004 Farnam Street

The initial “B” identifies this as the headquarters for the Burlington and Missouri River Railroad, which was designed by A.R. Dufrene. In 1899, famed local architect Thomas Kimball was hired to remodel the structure to resemble the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railroad Building in Chicago. Among other changes, Kimball added an interior courtyard, elevator, and a floor of octagonal glass bricks, which allowed light into the basement. In 1966, the Burlington Railroad left the building and sold it to the city. After sitting vacant for 17 years, the building was restored for office space, becoming one of the first successful renovations of a 19th-century building in Omaha.

H5

Hotel Howard, 1909 Now: home to Mr. Toad Pub 1002 Howard Street

The Hotel Howard was constructed in 1909 in the Classical Revival style. From its beginnings, the Howard benefited from the flourishing produce trade and the proximity to trains and wholesale businesses. Early in the morning, produce was piled on the sidewalks in the area. Peddlers would then come and load their wagons with a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables. The Howard served as a hotel until 1969, when the area was just beginning to show signs of revival as a tourist attraction.

In 1970, the ground floor became one of the Old Market’s earliest entertainment venues when Mr. Toad, an indoor-outdoor pub, was opened. The name “Mr. Toad” came from a character in the English book, The Wind in the Willows.

H6

Then & Now: J. P. Cooke Buildings, 1885 to 1889 1307 to 1315 Howard Street

Omaha’s first municipal swimming pool, “The New Natatorium,” was located in the basement of the westernmost of these three buildings. Vestiges of it can still be seen there. The cast-iron façade is considered a classic, and the immense windows suggest the then-contemporary development of the curtain wall and skyscraper in Chicago. In the early 1960s, J. P. Cooke & Co., makers of a variety of rubber and metal stamps, moved to this location.

Millard Block, 1880 to 1881 Now: Rock Bottom Brewery 1101 to 1107 Harney Street

Omaha capitalist Ezra Millard, a former mayor of Omaha and the man for whom a western suburb was named, erected the four-story Millard Block in 188081. The busy factory of the F. P. Kirkendall Boot Company arrived in the early 1900s. Kirkendall was once the world’s largest producer of riding boots, serving such prestigious customers as King Gustav V of Sweden and Emperor Yoshohito of Japan, as well as working cowboys everywhere. The Kirkendall factory shut down in the 1950s. In 1995, Rubin Distributing Company left the building to make way for new, upscale apartments as well as Austin’s, a regional steakhouse chain, which was replaced by Famous Dave’s and later, Rock Bottom Brewery.

H8

Morse Coe Building, 1892 to 1893 Now: First National Bank of Omaha branch & Scooters coffeehouse, Mayfield Apartments 1123 Howard Street

Architects Findley and Shields designed this five-story brick building, built in 1892-93 for $40,000. Footwear wholesalers W.V. Morse & Co. and Charles A. Coe and Company combined to manufacture a thousand shoes daily. By 1900, Morse had taken over the business, using the first three floors for its wholesale boot business. In 1999, the building was redesigned for luxury apartments, preserving the historic integrity of the structure, including the original fire escape.

H9

Omaha Firehouse, 1903-1904 Now: Upstream Brewing Company 514 South 11th Street

In 1903, George Fisher and Harry Lawrie designed Fire Substation No. 1 in the thenpopular Chateauesque style. The gabled third floor gave the building the look of a French chateau.

On April 9, 1917, firefighters were sunning themselves out front when a bystander rushed to tell them that their building was on fire. The two-alarm fire destroyed the third floor, which housed the hayloft for the horsedrawn engines. It continued to operate as a firehouse until lack of manpower during World War II forced it to close. In 1972, the building was reopened as the Firehouse Dinner Theater. Live shows were staged there until 1991. In 1996, architect David Erickson converted the firehouse into a restaurant and microbrewery, the Upstream Brewing Co., with the original 1903 cornerstone used as an interior showpiece.

Skinner Macaroni Building, 1914 to 1915 Now: Skinner Macaroni Lofts 1323 Jackson Street

In 1914, increasing business led the Skinner Manufacturing Company to build this six-story brick building, which was designed by architect Harry Lawrie.

Skinner was a leading manufacturer of macaroni and cereal products. Skinner conserved wheat during World War I by originating Kornroni, an economical macaroni product made from corn and wheat. In 1925, it developed Raisin Bran to supplement revenues, and in 1927, it introduced Cheesroni, one of the first macaroni and cheese products.

Skinner moved to a new Omaha plant in 1961, and Commercial Optical Company occupied the building soon after. In 1996, Emil Vohoska completed 74 new living spaces here, transforming the building into the Macaroni Apartments.

H11

Union Station, 1931 Now: The Durham Museum 801 South 10th Street

More than 40,000 people came on January 15, 1931, for the dedication of Omaha’s Union Station, an Art Deco masterpiece intended to convey “the distinctive character of the railroad — strength, power, masculinity.”

The structure was designed by Gilbert Stanley Underwood, the noted chief consulting architect for Union Pacific Railroad and later, the National Park Service.

During World War II as many as 64 passenger trains carrying 10,000 soldiers and civilians passed through the station each day.

Passenger service declined through the 1950s and 1960s, and Union Station closed its doors in the spring of 1971. Union Pacific donated the building to the City of Omaha in 1973. That year, the Western Heritage Society was formed to preserve the building and to establish a museum. Today, Union Station is home to The Durham Museum, which features first-class exhibits preserving the region’s history as well as traveling exhibits from national partners such as the Smithsonian Institution, the National Archives, the Library of Congress, and the Field Museum covering a vast array of fascinating subjects.

H12

Windsor Hotel, 1885 to 1887 Now: Windsor Square Apartments, Curb appeal salon & the tavern 520 to 524 South 10th Street

The Windsor Hotel, designed in the Italianate style, was constructed in two phases — the east wing was completed in 1885, and an addition to the west was finished by 1887. It was designed to be a workingman’s hotel, and, with its proximity to both the Union and Burlington train stations, it became known as a railroader’s hotel. The Windsor overlooked the stalls of the noisy open-air Public Market to its west from 1903 until the Market folded in 1964.

Renamed the Windsor Inn, it was the last hotel in operation in the Old Market when it closed on June 30, 1979. In 1985, Emil Vohoska and Pete Drake completed their renovation of the building as the Windsor Square Apartments.

The Overland Hotel Now: Ashley,s Collectibles 1218 Howard Street

The Overland Hotel originally was a two-story building with the main floor in 1889 occupied by P.J. Karbach & Sons, builder of carriages, donkey carts, and wagons for vendors of Jobbers Canyon and early businesses. Workers from these businesses, and from the Union Pacific Railroad, occupied the upper level hotel rooms.

Around 1934, the Barrel House Saloon occupied the main floor corner. Affordable Piano & Organ Company and the Nebraska Department of Labor came in the 1940s. Randy Ashley, the current owner, has renovated the main floor, exposing the building’s beautiful, original staircase.

H14

Poppleton Block Now: Omaha Visitors Center 1001 Farnam Street

The three-story Italianate Poppleton Block was constructed in 1880 for a prominent Omaha attorney, Andrew Jackson Poppleton, who was the second Mayor of the City of Omaha. His most famous case was the defense of Chief Standing Bear. The case set the legal precedent of treating Native Americans “as persons under the law.” The Poppleton Block is significant as a fine example of the High Victorian Italianate style of architecture popular in the Midwest during the latter part of the 19th century. The Poppleton Block was known as the “most elegant and commodious building in the City of Omaha.” The building today is home to the Omaha Convention and Visitors Bureau’s Visitors Center.

H15

Aquila Court Now: Magnolia Hotel 1615 Howard Street

Built in 1923, the Aquila Court building was designed by the architectural firm Holabird & Roche and built by Chicago financier Chester Cook. The building was named to honor Chester’s grandfather, and the faces of George and Aquila Cook are featured on the front of the building. The large, U-shaped structure is constructed of Bedford limestone and contains Tennessee marble floors and a Brazilian cherrywood lobby. The building design was based on the Bargello, a palace in Florence, Italy. In 1974, it was named to the National Register of Historic Places. In 2006, Magnolia Hotels purchased Aquila Court. Today, Magnolia Hotel Omaha is a 145-room boutique hotel.

old market It’s the metro’s favorite area for a casual or special night out—or a first date. The Old Market is also the site of many of Omaha’s oldest buildings. Its unique shops, restaurants, art, and people make the Old Market a blend of the hip and the historic.

The Old Market is evolving into a neighborhood center. The district has always had residents. Now, with its stylish loft condominiums, charming row houses, and luxurious townhomes, the Old Market and surrounding downtown area’s continued vitality is assured.

It’s also Nebraska’s No. 1 tourist attraction. Why? No big box or chain stores here. Every few steps alongside its brick streets bring another fabulous dining or shopping option. You can find art, gifts, décor, and handmade jewelry, all unique. No shopkeeper minds your browsing.

A tip for the ladies: on the bricks, watch those heels. Walk on the balls of your feet or wear flats. We locals know that. Take it from us.

The Old Market...Omaha’s Crown Jewel!

Parking & Transportation

Shopping

Don’t get caught buying something at your connecting airport.

Shopping in the Old Market is a fun, relaxing, cultural experience.

It’s nice to take a little walk after lunch or dinner. The Old Market is not a strenuous walk, just enough for a refreshing post-meal stroll.

You can spend as little or as much as you want. Many times, it’s a one-of-a-kind find. It’s not just a Midwestern market. You’ll experience dozens of exotic cultures. The Midwestern items do, however, prove you were actually here.

The Art Scene

Artists tend to congregate for inspiration and fellowship. In the metro, the Old Market is the hotspot. Residents and visitors would do well to immerse themselves in the thriving art scene that is Omaha’s Old Market. A good place to start is the Bemis Center for Contemporary Arts.
