Summary

Constructed in 1924, the Anderson Building is one of Omaha's best examples of the second stage of Sullivanesque architecture. In his design, Omaha architect William Gernandt commissioned pieces from the Midland Terra Cotta Company and placed them according to rules for ornamentation established by famed architect Louis H. Sullivan. The Anderson Building is also an exceptional example of a Commercial Apartment building, with five commercial bays on its 24th Street façade and a separate residential entrance on Jones Street.
