Summary
This small district in Midtown Omaha contains the Barnard Apartments (1902) and Uintah Apartments (1904), which sit across from each other on Leavenworth Street, and two duplexes constructed in 1916. Constructed at a street car line intersection, the Park Avenue Apartment District reflects the symbiotic relationship between public transportation and apartment buildings. In addition, the district's upscale apartments reflect the growing acceptance of apartment living among the middle and upper-middle class.
