Summary
The Notre Dame Academy is located in the Florence neighborhood in northern Omaha and is significant for its ethnic association with the Czech population in Nebraska as the only school and convent of the Czechoslovakian School Sisters of Notre Dame in the United States. The order originated in Czechoslovakia and came to America to educate local citizens in the Czech language and culture. It is also a good local example of a building designed in the late Italian Renaissance Revival style. Designed in 1924, the building was constructed in phases over the next twenty-six years, all complying with the original design.
