==Summary==
The 1884 Christian Specht Building is a three-story commercial structure designed by Dufrene and Mendelssohn, Omaha architects. The cast iron front was manufactured by the Western Cornice Works. Christian Specht, a native of Berlin, moved to Omaha from Cincinnati in 1880 and established the Western Cornice Works, which manufactured galvanized iron cornices, metal dormer windows, finials, window caps, tin and iron roofing, and a metal skylight patented by Specht. The galvanized iron front is designed in the Renaissance Revival style, popular in cast iron facades of the period.
