Summary
A product of the New Deal, this eleven story office building was constructed in downtown Omaha by the federal government between July of 1933 and February of 1934. Amazingly, it was ahead of schedule and under budget. The Federal Office Building conveys the federal presence in Omaha as well as a sense of community accomplishment and pride. Additionally, the building is an excellent local example of the Stripped Classical style with Art Deco embellishments that was popularized by the federal construction projects during the 1930s and 1940s.
