The Peerless Motor Company building is a small commercial style building, sited on the North side of Harney Street at the Western edge of downtown Omaha. The Peerless Motor Company building is associated with the early rise of automobile commerce and its effects on our built environment. This building is significant for its association with the period of automobile commerce before the Great Depression and the development of "Auto Row."
