Turns out to be the building north of the Mercer Hotel/ Delice building.

If I didn't know better, I'd say these contractors got it in for Omaha's historic buildings.

Hope they get it contained enough to salvage, but at least this isn't as big a loss as the Butternut project. If the building is completely destroyed, it wouldn't take that much to build a suitable replacement.

It's a miracle it was contained to just that building... so close to the center of the Old Market. Hopefully it, along with the Butternut... will be salvagable.

They contained it? Great! Let's hear it for 19th centruy brick.
