Summary
This residence is significant because it is the only extant building in Omaha associated with Mrs. Lizzie Robinson. In 1916 Lizzie Robinson and her husband, Reverend Edward D. Robinson, founded the Church of God In Christ in Omaha, the first church of that denomination in the state of Nebraska. Mrs. Lizzie Robinson is significant historically for her role as national organizer of the women's ministry for the Church of God in Christ, the largest African American Pentescostal denomination in the world.
