Description
Omaha's past is revealed through its lost landmarks, a history of industry, innovation and change. The city's downtown underwent significant transformation after World War II, with buildings like the Hotel Fontenelle, Omaha Athletic Club, and Medical Arts Building disappearing from the scene.
The legacy of these vanished landmarks can be seen in the remnants of Jobbers Canyon, once a vital part of the wholesale district, now overshadowed by ConAgra's headquarters. Peony Park, too, closed its doors as suburban sprawl prevented expansion, while changing leisure patterns took residents to distant amusement parks.
Author Janet R. Daly Bednarek explores the story behind Omaha's lost history through its landmarks, providing a unique insight into the city's transformation over time.
