Summary
The Melrose apartment complex, located in Omaha and constructed in 1916, comprises two separate three-story buildings positioned adjacent and attached, but perpendicular to each other, giving the impression that the buildings are one large, L-shaped structure. A large courtyard lies between the buildings and the street corner. While the west building is larger than the north one, both are of brown brick with identical limestone and darker brown brick detailing. Both feature balconies flanking the entry bays with "The Melrose" inscribed above each entrance. The Melrose exhibits a high degree of integrity with virtually no alterations to the exterior and only minor changes in the interior.
