Summary
Located in northeastern Omaha, St. Richard's Catholic School and Rectory reflect the Catholic Church's expansive reaction to suburban growth during the 1960s. With its extensive building site, space for specialized uses, classrooms designed to provide optimum flexible space, the careful treatment of light, and the use of newly developed building materials and technologies, the building illustrates the changing philosophies in post-World War II American public and parochial educational architecture. However, unlike all other Omaha Catholic parishes constructed during this time, movement of parishioners out of the neighborhood kept the parish from completing construction of over half the parish plant. The property, designed by noted Omaha architect Stanley J. How, illustrates how quickly Omaha demographics changed in a burgeoning North Omaha neighborhood.
