Downtown Revitalization: Omaha

Old Market

10.


Now known as the Old Market, this historic district was originally developed to sell groceries wholesale and retail in the late-19th century. It is located next to the former Jobbers Canyon Historic District. Destroyed in 1989, the 19th century warehouse area represents the largest National Register historic district in the United States lost to date.
